Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
You have a cold and your hearing is worse that it usually is.
So I grew up in a house where everyone is hard of hearing or has audio processing issues. Here is my ranking of streaming services subtitles (Australia only):
Best to worst
1. Crunchyroll: always synched, no background
2. Netflix: almost always synched, no background, matches dialogue, multiple languages
3: Stan: almost always synched, no background matches dialogue
4: Binge: minor synching issues, no background, matches dialogue
5: Amazon prime video: major synching issues, inconsistent backgrounds (sometimes transparent, sometimes opaque), matches dialogue
5: Disney+: minor synching issues, inconsistent backgrounds (sometimes transparent, sometimes opaque), mostly matches dialogue
6: Foxtel Go: minor synching issues, opaque background, matches dialogue 50% of the time
7: Paramount+: de-synches after ten minutes, opaque background, matches dialogue 50% of the time
Haven't tried AMC+
I just wanted to complain
MEDIA COMPANIES DO BETTER
Growing up in a house where everyone is hard of hearing or has audio processing issues means:
•"What do you want for dinner" "what?" What do you-" "chicken Kiev"
•"no subtitles? Pick something else"
• Unsynced subtitles = day ruined
• Knock on the door or misheard noise?
• "so-" *sneeze* *wait 3 seconds* "hearing back? So-"
