# How to use Live Subtitles on CommBox AI

## Learn how to turn spoken audio into on-screen captions and real-time translation.

**Applies To**  
CommBox Classic S5 with Goanna Firmware or later  
CommBox AI

**Step-by-Step Instructions**

#### Step 1: Open Live Subtitles

Open the **Side menu**, then the **Launcher**, then tap **Live Subtitles**.

#### Step 2: Open settings

Tap the **Settings cog**.

#### Step 3: Choose the spoken language

Select the language being spoken, such as **English (AU)**.

#### Step 4: Choose whether to translate

Tap **Translate** and select the language you want, or set translation to **Off** to keep captions in the spoken language.

#### Step 5: Adjust the subtitle window

Drag the subtitle window where you want it on the screen. You can also change font size, turn on system sound and select which microphone to use. Use the layout icons to choose a small floating window or a larger bar across the bottom.

💡 **Tip:** Live Subtitles supports accessibility and helps more people follow video content, spoken instructions and bilingual lessons.

**Troubleshooting / What to Do If It Doesn’t Work**  
If subtitles do not appear or the language is wrong:

- Confirm the spoken language
- Confirm the subtitle or translation language
- Make sure audio is actually playing through the screen or microphone
- Increase the volume slightly
- Move the subtitle window if it is covering content or controls
