I was under the impression that iOS 11 or the new TVOS is supposed to read closed captioning.

I’m hoping to get access to the usual AD, but I can glean most of the info in the film from the narration, except for the interviews in Vietnamese. The AD would be nice for other things, too, such as naming who is talking, etc. Keith From: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mary Otten Sent: Monday, September 18, 2017 5:31 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: PBS app on AppleTV 4 I have never used the Apple TV app for PBS. But on the regular PBS, I have also never heard audio description when there was simply something that was caption because it was in a foreign language. I know PBS has some programs with audio description, but have never seen it on foreign language interviews etc. I think you would want to turn on captioning for that, that is regular close captioning. So if VoiceOver becomes able to read subtitles or close captions for the deaf, then the thing you want might become available.

There are a number of interviews with Vietnamese which I’m sure are captioned. Wondering if these may be available via Audio Description. I don’t hear any AD, but thought I’d check here to see if perhaps I’m missing it, although I’m pretty sure I have my AppleTV set up correctly to play AD if available. Can someone please confirm the presence or absence of AD on PBS shows, either on the AppleTV 4 app or via PBS.org<http://PBS.org>. I’ve tired that latter, too, but without any luck finding AD.
