26、ut as an accessibility feature for deaf audiences, and to translate foreign language films into your own. Of course, its not just deaf audiences that subtitles help. The translated subtitles of foreign films are great for learning languages, letting you read and hear how its pronounced at the same t
27、ime. Movie subtitles are written ahead of time, but subtitling for live TV has to be done in the moment as the person is speaking, so mistakes are likely to happen.
