I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask but I don’t know where else to go. Their dedicated Reddit is on private due to the fiasco.
I’m watching “Mr.Robot” and pretty often an extra letter with the subtitles comes, shows as [P].
I added a screenshot of what, I meant.
Does anyone knows what this means?
PS: I recommend this show!
I don't know for certain, but based on the screenshot I'd guess it means "Pictured" (as opposed to being dialogue)
Yeah, you’re right! I was confused since the subtitles are not English but Dutch. So, I’m not sure why it uses the English term ‘pictured’
It happened again and showed the text “F Society” which was written on a specific building.
in this specific case it looks like it's transcribing signs that are visible on screen, partly so it's easier to read for the mildly vision-impaired, and partly for screen-readers for other disabilities.
Are you seeing this [P] on subtitles of people speaking, or does it only pop up for these "descriptive" subtitles?
So it happened again.
EDIT: So it is the text what is written on boards, buildings etc.
Nice! I'm still not sure what it is short for, though.
I actually never thought about that, I haven’t seen it when people talk.
I’ll check whether it is whenever it’s a sign. Will reply back when it happens again.
