Trying to watch a show or movie that isn't in your native language can lead to a disappointing experience. Not understanding the dialogue can ruin the plot or character development and lead to a lot of confusion.
To have full control over your entertainment experience, you will want to manage the subtitle and audio settings in Amazon Video Prime.
Here is how you can enable and disable subtitles and audio settings on Amazon Prime Video for desktop, mobile, and smart TVs.
What Is Audio Description?
Audio description is an accessibility feature that helps everyone fully experience a show or movie. It provides narration on everything happening on screen. This includes physical actions, scene changes, background descriptions, costumes, and facial expressions. This option is included in the audio settings for a select number of shows and movies.
Only some movies and shows are actually available for audio description on Amazon Prime Video. You will see this label on the details page of any show or movie. The audio description tag will be placed near the other language settings.
To use audio descriptions on Amazon Prime Video, you will need to enable it after you start playing the movie. You can use audio descriptions no matter what Amazon Prime subscription type you have.
How to Manage Subtitles and Audio Description on Desktop
Subtitles and audio descriptions are in the same area of Amazon Prime Video when watching on desktop. First, navigate to the Amazon Prime Video section of the website, then follow the steps below.
Once you open up the subtitle menu, you will see several choices for different languages you can choose from. The languages available will vary and not everything will offer audio description.
You can select from any number of languages, but only those tagged with Audio Description will narrate the entire video. You can access the same area if you wish to turn off audio descriptions or change your subtitle language.
There are also Subtitles Settings that you can open for further customization. These settings include the ability to change the font size of your subtitles and the way it is displayed. You can choose from a set of pre-existing options that include different background and text colors.
How to Manage Subtitles and Audio Description on Mobile
All movies and shows on Amazon Prime Video will include an area for subtitles and audio options. The only problem with mobile is that it's harder to see what those options are because of the smaller text. You will need to expand the languages section of your show or movie to determine if it has the choices you are looking for.
CloseHow to Manage Subtitles and Audio Description on Smart TV
This process is slightly different on a smart TV compared to desktop and mobile. Rather than having one option to select subtitles and audio settings, you have two different icons for each.
You Can Find the Subtitles You Need Online
By navigating to the subtitles and audio settings of Amazon Prime Video, you can control the movie or show to be in a language you are more comfortable with. Audio descriptions can even describe everything that is happening on screen besides the dialogue.
If your show or movie doesn't have subtitles, there are lots of sites online from which you can download free subtitles.
