A nice benefit of subtitles and closed captions on Hulu is that you can choose English or Spanish, when available, format captions, and each profile can manage captions independently. They can also be turned on and off based on the content being watched.

Cox Contour TV is a cable service from Cox Enterprises. Cox also offers a streaming device that works with any TV and provides access to Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+ and other streaming services.

A streaming device, aka streaming media player, is a physical piece of hardware. It connects to your TV through the HDMI port and uses your internet connection to stream online content to your TV, making it possible to access all your favorite services in one location.

You can turn captions for Roku on or off for the device itself or within individual channels that you download. Note that the availability of captions through Roku depends on the service provider offering them.

Your Samsung TV has a variety of Accessibility Settings, designed to enhance usability for all users. Should you find difficulty in hearing the dialogue during the 6 o'clock news, you can activate captions on your TV. Similarly, if navigating through menus seems challenging due to visibility issues, you can enable High Contrast mode or increase the font size for better clarity.

If you have closed captioning turned on for your TV, they still may not show up on some sources. Certain apps, like Netflix or HBO Max, have their own settings when it comes to using closed captions. This means that if you have already turned them on in the TV menu, they will also have to be turned on in the respective app menu if you wish to use them. The same applies to Consoles and Set Top Boxes. The settings on the TV menu will not matter for these sources, as they have their own separate settings for closed captioning.

Important: Closed captions are available in supported apps and broadcasts. Specific apps like Netflix have independent caption settings, while Blu-ray discs and DVDs require selection from the disc menu before playback.

Samsung TVs come well equipped to assist those that are hearing impaired. You have the ability to connect a bluetooth hearing aid to your TV. This can happen while your TV is playing out loud as well, thanks to Samsung's Multi-output Audio setting.

With more users requiring subtitles, the technology behind them is constantly getting better. Google Duo, for example, put text on recorded video messages via the same artificial intelligence that powers the Google Assistant and the voice typing feature for Google Docs.

Leading the way here is Skype. You can turn closed captions on for all video calls by opening Settings (tap your avatar on mobile or the three dots by your avatar on the desktop), and then selecting Turn subtitles on. By default, Skype will also caption what you say on the call, which can be a little distracting, but you can opt to have subtitles only on video feeds from other participants in the chat. You can also specify a particular language that you want captioning in.

Other video calling apps have yet to take the leap in terms of real time transcription, though it is possible on Pixel phones (more on that shortly). Google Duo is taking it slow by testing automatic subtitles on Android and iOS, but only for previously recorded video and audio messages.

Android has system-wide closed captioning settings that you can find by going to Settings and choosing Accessibility, followed by Caption preferences, and activating the toggle switch next to Show captions. You can also change the text size and color here by tapping Caption size and style. Keep in mind that some apps may not support these particular settings or closed captions at all, though you might be able to find caption settings inside unsupported apps.

On a Pixel phone, turn Live Caption on by opening Settings, selecting Accessibility, and then Live Caption. In the same place, you can also choose to show or hide profanity and sound labels (for sounds like laughter and applause). Finally, you can opt to show a Live Caption shortcut next to the pop-up bar that appears when you press one of the volume buttons on your phone.

From the Netflix home screen, select Manage Profiles, then choose the profile you want to edit. Select Audio & Subtitles Languages and select More to see a complete list of languages. However, not all languages are available for all titles, as Netflix shows the five to seven most relevant languages based on your location.

To enable or disable subtitles on your mobile device, begin by playing a show or movie, tap the screen, and tap Audio and subtitles. You can also adjust the brightness and playback speeds from here or skip back and ahead ten seconds.

Next, select your desired subtitle language or select Off to disable them. You can also change the spoken language from here. When ready to start watching, tap Apply.

To toggle subtitles on your computer, begin by playing your title of choice, then click the screen to pause playback. From the bottom right hand of the screen, select the dialogue box icon to bring up Subtitle and Audio settings.

Select Off to turn subtitles off, or select your preferred subtitle language. You can also choose a different spoken language or manage closed captioning under Audio.

Select your preferred language or Off to remove the text on the next page. You can also press the up or down arrow on your remote controller during play to view closed caption settings from the bottom of the screen. The latest app updates of Netflix will save your settings the next time you boot up the big screen.

Managing subtitles is slightly different depending on your generation of Apple TV. For Apple TV 2 and 3, hold down the center button on the Apple TV remote to bring up language and audio settings. Select subtitles and either choose a language or choose Off.

I cannot turn off subtitles (closed captioning) for one of my three chromecast devices that are used to support my usage of YouTube TV and other apps such as Netflix on my TV. The subtitles are showing up regardless of which app is in use. I've tried everything in settings for both the apps and for the TVs themselves. I even bought a new TV, believing it was a fault of the TV. But, surprisingly, even the new TV continued to display the closed captioning. So next, I switched the chromecast devices between TVs. Lo and behold, the unwanted closed captioning followed the switched (faulty) chromecast device! So, it's clearly the one single chromecast device that is causing the closed captioning. There is no resolution I've found on any help sessions, searches, etc. I've seen other posts where a person has been frustrated in not getting resolution, but I've now done sufficient experimentation to isolate the only remaining possible issue. It is not a TV nor app setting as I've verified I can watch TV without closed captioning on any two of my three TVs that are not using the (faulty) chromecast device without changing any other settings. I now believe it is a faulty chromecast device itself, but am willing to hear if there is some other resolution or means to fix my faulty chromecast device. If true, how do I get a replacement?

I finally resolved my problem myself. For anyone having issues with closed captioning being mysteriously turned on, understand there are closed caption settings that can be initialized for many layers of your viewing experience. I've fiddled with them at the TV-level, for Google TV at a general level, and for individual apps. I finally discovered a closed caption setting at the YouTube TV app level that was just a down-arrow search and selection for closed captioning. It was simple to re-set, but if you get frustrated by all the other options you have for turning on/off closed captioning, just relax and keep trying other options.

This is additional clarification of the original issue posted above. I miss-stated that subtitles are showing up with every app when using the (faulty) chromecast device. This is not correct. For both Netflix and Amazon Prime, I can successfully turn off subtitles. It is only when using YouTube TV that I experience the subtitles, and cannot turn them off using the YouTube settings when using the (faulty) chromecast device. I have repeatedly turned on/off the closed captioning setting for the YouTube app, but this has no impact on the presence of the closed captioning. Again, this is only the case for one (faulty) chromecast device that I've now switched/used on three different TVs. When using my other chromecast devices, I do not get the closed captioning. Furthermore, changing and/or turning off the closed captioning settings for the TV itself has no impact on the closed captioning, and its display font/color, when using the (faulty) chromecast device.
