Turning On Closed Captioning and Mono Audio

Closed captioning lets you read what people in a video say. This can be handy if you are deaf or hard of hearing, or for watching a video in a noisy environment where you might not be able to hear the sound coming out of your iPad’s speakers very well. To turn on closed captioning, follow these steps:

  1. From the Home screen, tap Settings. The Settings screen appears.

  2. Tap Video. The Video settings screen appears.

  3. Tap the Closed Captioning on/off switch.

  4. Press the Home button.

For clearer audio, you might also want to try the Mono Audio setting. Just tap Settings from the home screen, tap General, tap Accessibility, and finally tap the Mono Audio on/off button.
