DH is cooking breakfast and I am trying to watch Laura Kuensberg.
As I couldn't hear due to his noise I turned on the subtitles.
There were lots of, sometimes hilarious, mistakes.
I wonder how people who need to use subtitles get on with interpreting what they say.

An example...."Viewers heard her family deny" which was really firmly deny

I use subtitles all the time Pittcity. Some of the mistakes I find very funny. 🤣

I have trouble with subtitles as they give me migraine. I think it is caused by the still text with moving background. My bran seems unable to process this. It's a blessed nuisance.

I find sub titles very entertaining. There are often hilarious mistakes.

We have subtitles on all the time, I got fed up of DH asking what did he or she say.
Some are very amusing.

I read that a US news channel had subtitles that read "King Charles has been admitted to hospital for prostitute surgery" 😁

I have subtitles on all the time. I don't think I am hard of hearing, but I worry about the next door neighbour being bothered by the TV next to the party wall. I find some of the mistakes funny and find myself looking for them all the time.

The subtitles are helpful, unfortunately I do need them but they are funny at times. I was expecting to see Charles having had prostrate surgery but not yet.
