Subtitles

Just interested in people's preference over subtitles. I hear many neurodivergent people say that they find it much easier to watch tv and follow what is happening if they have the subtitles on. I don't find this at all. If there are subtitles, I forget to watch the actual program because I'm fixated on reading the subtitles.

  • I must have subtitles because it really does help to have both voice and text at the same time.  Often I miss hear or the voices mumble and without subtitles I just don't understand what's being said.  The subtitles never distract from the image.

    The big disadvantage is when the subtitles are out off sync with the voice by several seconds.  It drives me crazy when they are saying one thing and the subtitles show something very different.
