OK. Thanks very much for that. A little confusing, but I got it with your help. I think the subtitles came across in landscape even though my iPhone 5 is locked in portrait.
Very impressive. It would be nice if they'd label the video on their site as compatibility test.

Then, wait. Go to the app and click n Market Click on Compatibility tEst for MOvieReading and download the English subtitle. There is no audio description track for this movie. Then, once it's done, click on the movie in the My Movies tab. Then click on the Play button on the computer, and click OK to let it sync on your idevice. Then you can read the titles by scrolling with your fingers pretty quickly back and forth with speech or you can use a Braille display, You still have to do fancy fingerwork, but it's quieter with Braille.
