Words per minute spoken - 120-150 Words per minute read - 220-350 When doing some other task side by side with consuming a movie with captions, the combination of reading and hearing allow a better comprehension than just one or the other.

When captions replace the aural mode, this allows enough time to interleave attention (e.g. watching a movie while browsing TikTok on mute).
