Captions generally refer to a textual representation of all on-screen audio, including sound effects, music, song lyrics, angry dogs barking, spooky doors creaking, or any other sound heard on the audio track.
In contrast, subtitles are a translation of a video’s audio for viewers who might not understand the language, such as in a film from another country or dialogue from a Klingon in an episode of “Star Trek.”
Subtitles are a great addition to your video content. They can be used in motion pictures, television shows, corporate presentations, educational materials, or your own YouTube clips.
As with captions, subtitles allow you to reach a larger, global, cross-cultural audience. Ultimately, including subtitles will help make your content accessible to anyone, anywhere.
Our subtitles are created by human hands and ears. We rely on human translators to understand and translate the essence of human ideas. We don’t rely on literal machine translation, and neither should you. Artificial intelligence (AI) and automated speech recognition (ASR) systems are tools to help people work faster, but they are no replacement for human subtitling experts and translators.
