Accessibility features in the Apple TV app and iTunes Store
Accessibility features that are available in the iTunes Store and Apple TV app include closed captions, subtitles, and audio descriptions. Availability of these features varies by country or region.
Closed-captions (CC) content is a visual transcription of a video's dialogue, as well as any non-verbal communication. CC content might also help identify the speaker in a video.
Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH) content is similar to closed captions, but SDH content might be available in some situations where CC is not, and might be available in additional languages.
Audio-described (AD) content uses a spoken audio track to describe what's happening onscreen.
