If you use Linux this works reasonably well to provide captions when there are none available

People who are like this should really try to train their hearing better. You miss so much about the composition of a shot when you're reading subtitles.

Imagine if every painting in an art museum had a QR code pasted on top of it, or if every scenic overlook had glass you had to look through that had text explaining what it was you were looking at.

I can listen to audio tracks and separate the instruments and listen to them individually, but still prefer subtitles due to the dogshit audio mastering most media offers these days

You miss so much about the composition of a shot when you’re reading subtitles.

After a while, you really don't... You eventually stop even realizing that you're reading.

Also, the art thing you're describing is something completely different than subtitles. That's called "audio description" and it is a real thing that exists for people with vision problems.

Sure bud.

I bet you can also safely check your texts while driving without missing anything on the road.

It actually annoys me now that I have to go into the settings of every game just to turn the subtitles off

For some reason, Amazon Prime randomly has German subtitles turned on for me.

Holy shit, I'm not the only one???

It only happened for me on one show, and only when the characters on screen were speaking Spanish instead of English.

It had the hardcoded English translation, then a big "[SPEAKING SPANISH]" thing on top of that so I couldn't read it. Like yeah, no shit, how about you move so I can read the translation you asshole.

Then at the top of my screen, just MASSIVE subtitles in German for some reason with no ability to turn them off.

Almost the entire screen was filled with text, and I could only read "[SPEAKING SPANISH]".

Probably your Alexa hearing you speaking in what it thinks is German.
