How about verbal communication?
Netflix debuted a new feature in April: original language subtitles that solely display spoken speech.

This includes speaker names, aural cues like [phone ringing] or [dramatic music swells], and speech.
Beginning with the fifth season of YOU, Netflix programming will progressively introduce the new option, which may be disabled using any of the previously mentioned ways.
