You might not have handy subtitles to guide you through life, but when you’re watching your favorite videos, you can use subtitles to help you understand what you’re watching and improve your language skills. It’s an immersive learning option you don’t have to go abroad to enjoy!
Spoken subtitles could be a solution if, due to sight disorder or poor reading skills, a person is unable to read subtitles and the language spoken in the movie is unknown, or not known well enough.
People with visually impairments and/or reading difficulties often use text-to-speech to cope with school work, and to keep up with society. Spoken subtitles further increase the accessibility of foreign movies and TV shows for these people. Hopefully, spoken subtitles can help improve the reading skills for people with reading difficulties.
