Amazon Prime Video Adds Live Captioning Feature to Improve Accessibility

Enhanced Streaming Experience for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Users

New Feature Makes Subtitles Available in Real-Time

Amazon Prime Video has introduced a groundbreaking feature that enhances the streaming experience for deaf and hard of hearing users: live captioning.

With this new feature, viewers can now access real-time subtitles for selected shows and movies. To enable live captioning, users simply need to play a supported title and select the CC/Subtitles option from the playback controls. Subtitles will then appear on the screen during playback, providing viewers with an accessible way to enjoy their favorite content.

This innovative feature is a major step forward in making streaming more inclusive and accessible for all users. By providing live captioning, Amazon Prime Video is ensuring that deaf and hard of hearing viewers can fully engage with and enjoy the same content as everyone else.
