To begin, either start the specific version of the app for your glasses, or pair to them, as appropriate. Once the app has loaded, if required, login and select **AR Subtitles**: ![](https://knowledge.xrai.glass/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_20250301_170001_XRAI_Glass%5B2%5D-jpg.jpeg?width=300&height=667&name=Screenshot_20250301_170001_XRAI_Glass%5B2%5D-jpg.jpeg)   ![](https://knowledge.xrai.glass/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-02-2025-08-18-44-8722-PM.png?width=300&height=666&name=image-png-Mar-02-2025-08-18-44-8722-PM.png) 2. Once you are at the conversation screen, press the **+** button to begin subtitles and the ⏹️ button to end: ![](https://knowledge.xrai.glass/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_20250301_171018_XRAI_Glass%5B1%5D-jpg.jpeg?width=300&height=667&name=Screenshot_20250301_171018_XRAI_Glass%5B1%5D-jpg.jpeg)  ![](https://knowledge.xrai.glass/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_20250301_171030_XRAI_Glass%5B1%5D-jpg.jpeg?width=300&height=667&name=Screenshot_20250301_171030_XRAI_Glass%5B1%5D-jpg.jpeg) 3. To change the way the text is displayed, tap the quick settings box in the bottom right. From here you can control: 1️⃣ The size of the font in the AR glasses 2️⃣ The distance away from you the subtitles appears 3️⃣ The amount of space from the top of the glasses which is made transparent so subtitles don't appear within it 4️⃣ The gap between the bottom of the AR glasses and where the subtitles appear 5️⃣ The width of the space the subtitles appear in, within the AR glasses ![](https://knowledge.xrai.glass/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-02-2025-08-30-26-8890-PM.png?width=300&height=665&name=image-png-Mar-02-2025-08-30-26-8890-PM.png) 4.
