# Turn On Subtitles

Show subtitle for movies and TV shows from Amazon Video and web videos in the Silk Browser (when available for the title). There are three ways to enable subtitling on Fire phone.

- From Accessibility Settings:
  1. From Settings, tap Device, and then tap Manage Accessibility.
  2. Under Hearing Settings, tap the switch to turn Subtitling On. This will enable your phone to display subtitle when available.
- From the Amazon Video app:
  1. Play the video you want to watch. Videos that include subtitle appear with the subtitle symbol ("CC") on their overview pages. Most videos that support subtitle include English text. Other languages may also be available.
  2. After playback has started, tap the Menu > Subtitles > On. In the subtitles menu, you can also customize the font size and color scheme for the subtitle text. Your selections apply to all videos you play until you change them again.
  3. Tap outside the subtitle menu to return to video playback with subtitles on.
  4. To turn subtitles off, tap the Menu > Subtitles > Off. You can also manage your Amazon Video subtitle settings under Subtitle Preferences at www.amazon.com/cc.
- From the Silk Browser:
  1. From the Silk Browser, access the left panel and tap Settings.
  2. Tap Advanced, and then tap Subtitles.
  3. Select from the available customization options, such as text size, and then swipe up from the bottom of the phone to return to the browser. Some options may not be available.
