Video captions, also known as subtitles, display dialogue, sounds, and relevant audio information on the screen, making video content more accessible to viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing. Captions enhance inclusivity, SEO, and engagement. They can be open or closed, and are essential for businesses, organizations, and content creators to reach a wider audience.
Captions also benefit non-native speakers, auditory processing disorders, and those watching in noisy environments.
