We know a lot of DFB readers are also Netflix fans, and probably are keeping up with some of Netflix’s hottest shows like Stranger Things, You, Wednesday, and more.

However, one issue that many of us face is that when watching our favorite shows, we often prefer to use subtitles, but these subtitles lack customization options. For instance, what if we want to read (or not read) sound cues in addition to dialogue? Now, Netflix has added an option to remove those closed caption cues for a more personalized experience.
For those of us who use captions on Netflix that don’t require audio cues, a new original language subtitles option is now available, which will only display the spoken dialogue. Previously, you would turn on Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, which includes both dialogue and audio cues, as well as speaker names. Now, though, you can just make those subtitles display the dialogue.

Here’s how to choose the dialogue-only option for subtitles: When you open the language picker on the app, you’ll see two subtitle options in English: English, which is just the spoken dialogue, and English (CC), which includes dialogue and audio cues. Netflix has confirmed this will be available in every language.

This will come in handy for those shows and movies where it’s hard to hear the dialogue (maybe because the movie or show sound mix is just so bad…which is ALL too common…or maybe because you’re in a noisy room or even maybe you want to keep the sound down if you don’t want to disturb others). You’re also still able to customize your subtitles by changing their size and font, too.
