As Redbox embarks into free Live TV, On-Demand movies, and widens its movie library collection for users to purchase or rent, there comes a time when you want to maximize what you are streaming. For instance, some movies are exciting and can get you off your seats, but not everything you hear is understandable. There may be times when you do not know what the characters are saying. In turn, it reduces the pleasurable experience that you can get out of the movie or TV series you watched.
That is why Redbox is giving its users the option of whether to enable and add closed captioning or subtitles on their TV shows or movies. If there are titles users stream that holds to be too visually enthralling and you do not need the annoying text, you can disable the closed captions or subtitles easily. But, if there is a lot of talks that are too important to miss out on, you might need to turn them on.
