OK, so you want to capture the information for later reading. Look and see if there is a transcript available. I don't think there is an easier way, though I suppose creating a custom widget or Safari extension could possibly capture a specific segment on a web page. I'lll try to ask my

Is this using a youtube app or the web? If it is on the web, then I would expect that flash messages being enabled with live regions would allow you to read the subtitles on your Braille display. This might work on the IOS app, but I have no familiarity with that. On 12 September 2017 at 12:13,
