I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask but I don’t know where else to go. Their dedicated Reddit is on private due to the fiasco.

I’m watching “Mr.Robot” and pretty often an extra letter with the subtitles comes, shows as [P].

I added a screenshot of what, I meant.

Does anyone knows what this means?

PS: I recommend this show!

    in this specific case it looks like it’s transcribing signs that are visible on screen, partly so it’s easier to read for the mildly vision-impaired, and partly for screen-readers for other disabilities.

    Are you seeing this [P] on subtitles of people speaking, or does it only pop up for these “descriptive” subtitles?
