Turn captions on in a video app
Read what is being said when the sound will not carry it.
Video apps print the spoken words along the bottom when you turn captions on. The button is marked CC.
Where nobody typed them out, a computer writes them by listening, so a name here and there comes out wrong.
Key points
- Captions go on from the CC button on the picture
- Captions written by a computer get names wrong now and then
What to remember
- CC is on the picture itself, not in the phone settings.
- Automatic captions are a good guess, not a record.
Try this
Play any video on your phone and look for CC on the picture. Turn it on.
