Closed-Captions in DreamBox Math

DreamBox Math offers closed-captions in all student environments to boost student understanding as they play and complete lessons. Closed captions are especially helpful for hearing-impaired students or students without access to headphones so they can read the instructional text on their screen.

How Do I Turn Closed-Captions On or Off?

Students can adjust the music, sound, and captions settings in the Math and Reading student environments based on their learning preferences. 

Note: Educators and Learning Guardians can't turn closed captions off or on for students from their dashboards, so students will need to control closed captions from the student environment. As a student, you can select captions with or without background audio. The lesson and character voices will continue to be heard with the background audio off.

To adjust the audio and closed-captions (CC) settings:

• Click the Settings button. The Settings window opens.

• In the Settings window, click the Captions toggle to turn captions on or off. 

All Settings ON	All Settings OFF

• Click the check mark to confirm the choices and return to the student environment.  

What Content is Captioned?

All K-8 Math lessons and academic videos for all student environments will have captions. Some, but not all, games have captions.

FAQs

Q: Does closed-captioning work on all devices?

A: Yes, it does.

Q: Will DreamBox Math remember my student's closed caption settings?

A: Yes, the program will keep the last setting the student chose after they logged in.

Q: Does DreamBox Math support closed captions in both English and Spanish?

A: Yes, we support English and Spanish captions to match the student's audio language. However, a student's preferred language and the closed captions language will always be the same. For example, if a student's preferred language is set to Spanish, the closed captions will be in Spanish.  DreamBox Math does not support audio in one language and captions in another. 

Q: Can an educator change a student's language setting in DreamBox Math?

A: Educators can set their students' Math language from their dashboard. The selected language will be used for both audio and closed captions.
