You can enable Hulu's closed caption feature for assistance with dialog regardless of the device you're using to watch Hulu.
On most devices, you can enable closed captions and choose the language you want to see using the Settings icon, which is shaped like a gear.
You can also customize the font size, style, and color on most devices.
On your phone, you set that from the device's accessibility settings, while the process varies for the web and smart TVs.

You can enable closed captions within Hulu for most shows and movies, but adjusting them varies depending on the show you've chosen.
While English and Spanish are available for many programs, not every show has Spanish, for example. The device you are watching a title on can also impact the captions you have available.
And unlike some other streaming apps, you'll have to enable captions on each device you're streaming Hulu shows and movies on. Enabling captions on one device will not allow them on your phone, computer, or smart TV.
