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!

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.
