      For those who need it fore sure. But I'd find it distracting (I can never read and watch at the same time, I'd get a queasy stomach and a headache). So if there was an option for it or an option to opt out on the lessons, that would be best.

          I usually use subtitles to watch regular tv because I don't have the best hearing. Without them I miss A LOT and I'm constantly asking my family to fill in the blanks. Subtitles would be greatly appreciated!

                I was actually thinking a few weeks ago it is missing. I would give 10!

                    As someone who has an auditory processing disorder, captions are extremely beneficial. A 100/10 for me. And for all those who are hard of hearing, deaf, or esl.

                      Very. I don't need them now, but as a non native speaker I did depend on them at first. Apart from that it's nice to be able to watch a video without sound in some circumstances. Also, it makes it easier when product names are written out (tools, software, etc), because sometimes the spelling isn't obvious if you're not familiar with the brand / product line.
                      I'd say 6/10 for me, 10/10 for some!

                        10/10! I agree with everyone! Accessibility is very important and I'd love to see these courses expand to meet the needs of as many folks as possible!
