The difference between subtitle and caption:

  • Captions include subtitles plus a written description of what is occurring in their videos for viewers who might not be able to hear or understand the sound. Closed captions are written in the same language as the audio in a video
  • Subtitles provide viewers with a video’s dialogue in written form and are used to translate the spoken language.

The benefit of adding subtitle to videos:

    •  Subtitles enable deaf and hard of hearing users to watch videos. This is important for all video publishers especially educational institutions who need to comply with accessibility laws and internal policies.
    • They also act as metadata that helps your videos show up in more places on YouTube.
    • Closed captions and subtitles provide an on-screen reading guide for those viewers who find it difficult to hear what’s happening on-screen or who speak a different language.

Subtitle formats:

  • There are many subtitles formats, such as SRT, WebVTT, DFXP/TTML, SCC, and SAMI files, but the most commons file is SRT.

How to create SRT file:

  • No labels
