Subtitles

[Harry’s mum]

Hello there. At the beginning of the year I thought that I’d read somewhere that subtitles were a possibility for this new year, as in 2025. Is this still on the cards and would it be retrospective? I have great difficulty in listening to Richard Willett in particular, as I cannot hear his low tones, and if I turn the volume up the top end’s too loud 😄 I’ve missed so much of what he’s covered which are all most interesting subjects. Also, some films have subtitles for non-English speaking interviewees and then jumps back to normal footage which throws me out of kilter…cheers.

Hello! Yes we have had many conversations about subtitles in both English and Spanish. We still have some more foundational work that we need to do before we can tackle this one, but I would love to see it drop in 2026 (not an official release window).

Thank you, I’m so glad they are still being considered. 😊

subtitles would be a great addition to all the content on ickonic for the deaf firstly. there is alot of deaf people out there that do not get to hear what you say here at ickonic.

Thanks @Josh. The most recent Reuters Institute study on where mainstream news is trusted the least is interesting:  

The chart shows that there is a set of markets including Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and the United States (as well as Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa) where news creators are having a very significant impact.  –=–Reuters Institute of Oxford

Apologies for giving you more work guys; maybe there is a need for Portuguese and Afrikaans too in the future 😜🤔
