Reach a bigger audience
Make your content more accessible; not everyone can hear your audio! Captions not only unlock your videos to the deaf and hard of hearing population, but also to those who may be in a quiet environment, where video noise could be disturbing.
Speak your viewer’s language
By providing captions or subtitles to your videos, you may also be helping someone overcome a language barrier! Adding subtitles is a great way to increase comprehension for those you may not share a first language with.
Boost engagement
Capture a potential viewer’s attention visually first. Studies have found that adding subtitles to your videos can significantly increase views and watch time. Additionally, viewers tend to comprehend content more thoroughly with the use of subtitles.
