Roku streaming sticks and devices are among the best around when it comes to offering an all-in-one collection of the best streaming subscription services out there. Their low cost and relative ease of use makes them both available and accessible to an incredibly wide variety of audiences.
The best Roku streaming devices are also notable in their options for user accessibility, especially so when it comes to options for subtitles. If you need an all-encompassing subtitles solution when watching movies and shows on the best streaming services available on Roku, rest assured that your device has you covered in that regard.
But how do you enable subtitles on your Roku device, and what settings are available to you? That's what we're going to delve into in this Roku guide. Read on to find out how to enable subtitles on Roku, and how to tailor them to suit your needs.
Boot up your Roku device on your TV. When you're at the home dashboard, use your remote to scroll down to the Settings menu, and click either OK or hit Right on your remote's directional pad.
Then, scroll on down to Subtitles, and once again click OK or Right on the directional pad, and you'll be taken to the rather robust Subtitles menu.
Before toggling the various subtitles settings, we'll first need to enable them. To do so, highlight Subtitles mode and click OK, then select the On always option. This will enable Roku's own subtitles mode across all streaming apps.
Once that's enabled, feel free to back out of the Settings menu and check out one of your favorite apps to see if the subtitles have appeared. It's worth noting, however, that some apps may override Roku's subtitles settings with their own.
Roku's subtitles options are impressively robust, and offer a variety of different settings that allow you to tailor your subtitles just how you need them. Handily, all subtitle options within the settings menu feature a preview window, to show you exactly how you subtitles will appear on-screen. The following is a list of options available to you, and a brief description as to what each of them does:
•Subtitles preferred language: This will set your preferred language by default. You can choose from a wide variety of languages, and your chosen option will be displayed in movies and shows should they support them.
•Text style: This options allows you to change the subtitles' font. There's only a handful of options here, but most style settings are designed to be readable, with some including a decent amount of letter spacing should you need it.
•Text edge effect: Adds an effect to the edge of subtitle text if you need the text to be more pronounced. Examples include options to raise or depress the subtitles, or add a drop shadow to make text stand out more.
•Text size: A rather self-explanatory setting where you can increase or decrease the size of on-screen subtitles.
•Text color: You can adjust the color of your subtitles here, in case you struggle with the visibility of the default white text setting.
