Today, we face the first generation of non-readers in our history, with less than 20 percent of U.S. teens reporting they read a book, magazine or newspaper daily for pleasure. We are committed to doing what we can to help address this serious issue and we believe marshalling new technology like Captions to meet students where they are, via an audio service on their phone or tablet, is a step in the right direction. We are actively speaking with educators, publishers and others to help ensure this free, new technology does all it can to make a meaningful difference.

Audible Captions was designed with students in mind. Beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, it will be made available free with a curated bundle of selected titles to over 150,000 public school students across the country. The Audible Captions functionality was requested by Newark high school students using Audible as part of our Project Listen Up program, and we believe that in addition to meeting student needs it will increase accessibility for all listeners who face challenges understanding words. We will be making it available at no cost to all Audible customers, so students, parents and listeners everywhere can have access to this technology. While Audible will make the audiobooks available at no charge to students, all rights holders will be paid their standard royalties.
HMS MD students will find hundreds of opportunities to carry out research, from hypothesis-based research in the basic and clinical sciences to research in the social sciences, arts and medical humanities.

While some students locate research opportunities in their first year, most students will carry out research in their third or fourth year, after they have completed their Principal Clinical Experience (PCE) in their second year.
MD students may find scholarly projects through conversations with Scholars in Medicine (SIM) Fellows, faculty, Office of Scholarly Engagement (OSE) staff and fellow students; area seminars; HMS and Harvard websites. OSE has a robust database of over 400 scholarly projects, accessible through Harvard Catalyst Profiles (login and click on the Opportunity Search tab.)

The best way to learn these beats is to focus on catching them as they happen organically in scenes. And with the subtitles on, it becomes much more apparent which parts of the scenes are meant to be providing context with dialogue versus which pieces are meant to be dialogue and direction free.
There are also plenty of examples of where songs in films are chosen not just for how they sound in a scene or montage, but also for what they say. Many subtitles are aware of this and will include lines from the song with musical notations around them to let the audience know that these words are coming from the song, which might mirror elements of the narrative.
