The text that appears on the screen when you’re watching a movie or a show is called a closed caption. It’s a special function that transcribes the audio of a program to aid hard-of-hearing people in comprehending the content.

Whether it’s a dialog an action or a sound, closed captions help viewers track what’s happening in the video. However, users can voluntarily turn them on and off– thus, named closed captions.

If you’re viewing content on Spectrum TV and want to know how to turn off closed caption on your Spectrum remote, then follow the simple steps below:
