I was wondering if deaf people commonly watch movies or TV with the sound on to feel the sound/music? Or is there not a sense of enjoyment if it can’t be heard?

    I think the issue is that the people writing the captions don’t understand and can’t write it down.

    Obviously the producers could fix that but it would be a process change, which would take some attention from a powerful person who cares about the issue. As you imply, that seems to be in short supply.

      It seems very inefficient to have them transcribe audio when they could just add timestamps to the script.
