I have Closed Captions / Subtitles on all the time, I cannot watch any movie or show made in the last 10-15 years without it (I would hear 20% - 90% of the dialogue otherwise). Don't find CC distracting any more, and as an added bonus I am enjoying a lot more foreign content because I'm using CC anyway so why not.

> foreign content because I'm using CC anyway so why not and then you get to experience the phenomenon where you forget that a movie was foreign at all because you knew what everyone was saying just as well as if they were speaking in english

  CC is a transcription. They are not translations.

    Closed captioning can provide translations. If it was specific to transcription historically, it no longer is today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_captioning https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_captioning
