Apple TV adds sign language options for selected original films
The feature will offer American and British Sign Language interpretation, beginning with Being Heumann and F1: The Movie.
Apple has announced sign language interpretation for selected original movies on its Apple TV streaming service. The feature will debut with Being Heumann and F1: The Movie, with additional films planned.
Apple said Greyhound and Way of the Warrior Kid will receive sign language options later this year. Viewers will be able to select either American Sign Language or British Sign Language. An interpreter will appear in a corner of the picture, with signing synchronized to the film.
The feature requires version 27.2 or later on an iPhone, iPad or Mac using the Apple TV app. Some versions of the app for other platforms will also support it. Sign language controls are hidden by default; enabling their display in settings makes a dedicated button available during playback of supported titles.
Catalog listings will identify sign language support alongside information about subtitles and audio languages. Searches that include “with ASL” or “with BSL” will also help viewers find films offering those options.
