I am extremely behind, but I recently discovered that you can read subtitled Netflix shows with a Braille display!!! Dude, all the anime that just opened up to me! My nerdy heart is dancing. If you’re behind like me, instructions are below:

• Open your preferred streaming service. I tested this with Netflix, but I expect this would also work with Hulu because it’s an apple feature.
• Pick a TV show and swipe to the “Audio and Subtitle Options.”
• Select your preferred language and hit the close button.
• Move through the rotor until you hear “Media Controls.”
• Swipe up until you here Braille. Note that you will be in landscape mode, so I mean up relative to the phone’s orientation.
• Boom! Look at your braille display and you’ll see subtitles.

My Braille reading still needs work, so I have to slowdown the playback speed for me to be able to keep up. The subtitles change as dialogue is spoken automatically. As per usual, some pieces of dialogue don’t fit on the display, so you will have to pan with the thumb keys. I have noticed that there will be a delay if you pan before a fresh set of subtitles displays, but it usually fixes itself if you wait.

Enjoy!
