How to Add Subtitle in Castle App?

Adding subtitles is one significant feature that allows a global audience to enjoy content from any language. Subtitles appear word-by-word on the screen to pronounce the dialogue.

What is Subtitles?

Subtitles are the visual appearance of movie dialogue, making the content readable and understandable. They are significant streaming partners, especially in a noisy environment or when you cannot listen. Castle TV offers unlimited movies, TV shows, and events with multi-lingual subtitle support. 

Why Add Subtitles?

  • Language Concerns: Watch your favorite video content globally beyond the language barriers.
  • Usability: Deaf people can easily understand the dialogues and video context.
  • Accessibility: Subtitles ensure users never miss out on any dialogue, particularly in case of slow internet connectivity.
  • Cultural Adjustments: Subtitles let you explore the other cultures’ content to create a connection.

Types of Subtitles

  1. Open Subtitles: This form is embedded in a video, so you cannot turn it off. This is permanent and useful for the text that is not understandable only by listening.
  2. Closed Subtitles: These subtitles are in the hands of users, so they can be turned on or off anytime.
  3. Captions: These are similar to subtitles but appear in non-verbal elements, and useful for deaf persons.

Closed Subtitles are one of the most recommended forms as these are under users’ control.
