30. Doesn't Netflix caption its original content?

Sat Apr 4, 2015, 12:42 PM

Apr 2015

I had an online chat with a Roku rep about captioning.

I'm not deaf but I like captioning because actors speak
so fast and slurry these days.

The Roku guy said that they were working with Netflix
to caption as much as possible.

That was a few years ago, and over time I noticed a great
improvement.

All the Netflix originals I've watch have been captioned, and
I don't watch anything else that is not captioned unless I
absolutely need to see it.
