Abstract
This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for providing captions with audio content. For instance, an electronic device may receive first data representing audio content and second data representing captions that are available for the audio content. The electronic device may then select portions of the captions for display while outputting the audio content. In some instances, the electronic device selects the portions using timestamps represented by the second data. For instance, the electronic device may select a portion of the captions such that the portion of the captions begins at a first pause within the audio content and/or ends at a second pause within the audio content. In some instances, the electronic device may also display graphical elements that indicate the current location within the captions.
