# easyToRead

A media characteristic that indicates a track or media selection option provides legible content that’s edited for easy reading.

## Declaration

```swift
static let easyToRead: AVMediaCharacteristic
```

## Discussion

Discussion Closed caption tracks that carry “easy reader” captions, as the CEA-608 specification defines, should have this characteristic. The value of this characteristic is public.easy-to-read. For QuickTime movies and .m4v files, a track has this characteristic only if the media’s author tags it that way.
