Maximize accessibility and engagement for your videos with captions.

What is closed captioning?

Closed captioning is the process of embedding captions into a video so that words display on the screen as the video is playing. Captions are also referred to as “subtitles.” Captions typically appear at the bottom of your screen and represent a person’s speech and also includes sound effects and musical cues.

In today’s world, adding closed captions is a vital part of the production process. Not only do they improve accessibility for those who have a hearing disability, they also drastically increase consumer engagement with your visual content. This means more traffic for your project or business!

Did you know?

  • A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. consumers view videos with the sound off on their mobile devices.
