How To Turn Off Auto-Generated Captions On Twitter?
Steps to turn off auto-generated captions on Twitter:
Step 1: Go to phone Settings
To begin, unlock your iPhone or iPad and then tap the “Settings” icon on your home screen. This will bring up your phone’s settings.
Step 2: Go to “Subtitles & Captioning” settings
Look for “Subtitles” in the settings. To search the settings, use the search bar. If you don’t see the search bar, swipe down on the screen to bring it up.
Now, select the “Subtitles & Captioning” settings.
Alternatively, go to Accessibility > Scroll down > Select Subtitles & Captioning.
Step 3: Select “Style”
In the “Subtitles & Captioning” settings, you’ll see three options: Closed Captions + SDH, Style, and Show Audio Transcriptions.
Select “Style” and proceed to the next step.
Step 4: Tap on “Create New Style…”
In the “Style” settings, you’ll see four default styles: Transparent Background, Large Text, Classic, and Outline Text.
The “Transparent Background” style is selected by default.
Tap on “Create New Style…” and proceed to the next step.
Step 5: Make the text transparent and tap “Save”
In this step, we’ll try to make the captions as transparent as possible so that they’re less visible on the video.
Note: For all settings, make sure the Video Override toggle switch is switched off.
Set the following parameters:
Descriptions: No CC
Font: Keep the default font
Size: Small
Color: White
Color (background): Keep default background
Opacity: 0%
Text Opacity: Transparent
Text Edge Style: None
Text Highlight: Scroll down and select “0%”
Tap “Save” located on the top right corner to save the caption style.
Step 6: Restart Twitter
Finally, restart Twitter and go to the video. You’ll notice that the captions have become less visible!
Note: Restarting the Twitter app is required for the captions settings to take effect.
This is the only solution to turn off auto-generated captions on Twitter.
