Yeah! It would sure be nice if we took accessibility issues seriously.

Like one lesson we learned as a society in the aftermath of implementing strong ADA laws (in the US) is that what's needed for the bare minimum for some of us is often really nice for the rest of us.

For example: if you're delivering a dolly of boxes to a building, the wheelchair ramp really beats working the dolly up the stairs.

It would be amazing if dialog were a separate channel, if only so that it can be boosted for the hard of hearing. If that meant more options for remixing for you and me - oh no?

It would be amazing if the subtitles were available and accurate. Great if you can't hear the audio. It's useful for scrubbing if you want to remember and find a obscure movie quote.

and accurate

My pet peeve. I also watch shows in the original (foreign to me) language to train my listening comprehension and often the subtitles are not word for word accurate especially in the hard to understand parts.

Even when it's English subs with English audio, so much is done with "AI" now but clearly they're never checked by a human!
