A text commentary is a type of DVD commentary in which information appears on the screen. The text commentary of Star Trek DVDs (written by Michael and Denise Okuda) take the form of subtitles.

Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: Enterprise are the only series that have text commentaries included in their box sets, although one episode in the second season of Star Trek: Voyager contained a text commentary. The other episodes listed below have received these commentaries in the Fan Collective DVDs.

All of the Special Edition DVDs of the Star Trek films have text commentaries.

In the commentary of "Little Green Men", the text mentions that the Bell Riots took place in the episodes "Future Tense, Parts 1 and 2". The commentary apparently confused the DS9 episodes "Past Tense, Part I" and "Past Tense, Part II" with the ENT episode "Future Tense".
