Whenever a new audio-visual technology hits the market, innovators always take care of those with hearing impairment. Apple, which is a big brand in the world of communication technology, has made available this technology (closed captioning) for users who hear hard.
Apart from this, Apple also released subtitles for people who enjoy foreign language movies. Subtitles help them understand the dialogs delivered by actors on screen.
But how you can enable subtitles on your Apple TV? Though this is not a single-button task, it is quite easy to enable subtitles. This facility will help you watch ghost movies late night when others in your family are having sound sleep.
