Boost your Videos with Captions

Introduction

Did you know that adding captions to a video can boost views by a whopping 80%? If you need help to have a wider reach and get more clicks on your videos, captioning is the sure way to achieve that goal. Captions can be open or closed, though closed captioning is more common as it gives users a choice. In fact, captioning is the most powerful tool to help rank videos in search engines and expand reach.

Furthermore, many countries have made it a law to have video captioning of TV programs to aid hearing-disabled people. While this doesn’t necessarily include other media content, such as video game captioning, including open or closed captions will definitely have a positive impression.

As per the data of WHO, 1 in 5 people in Europe suffers from hearing loss or deafness. This number is 1 in 8 in the United States, according to the U.S. National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. In short, you’re losing a hefty number of watchers by not captioning videos.

So stop limiting yourself and grow your audience with Conversify India’s captioning service now!

What are Captions, and How are They Different from Subtitles?

Often, the terms subtitles and captions are interchangeably used. But there is a slight difference between the two. Though both subtitles and captions appear as audio text in videos, subtitles are translations, while captions are dialogue transcriptions.

The primary function of captions is to help viewers who cannot hear video audio. This covers any little sound made in the video, such as the neighing of horses and screeching of doors, to help a viewer understand what’s going on in the film, YouTube video, or other media content.

Subtitles, on the other hand, provide a translation to viewers who are non-natives. While subtitling movies or videos, experts assume that the viewers can hear the audio but don’t know the language. Subtitling typically comes in handy in the film and gaming industry. When the source language of the film shot is different than the target audience in another country, subtitling becomes vital.

Difference Between Open and Closed Captions?

  • OPEN CAPTIONS
OPEN CAPTIONS are embedded into the video. There is no way to turn them off as they are part of the video file itself, just like the audio and the visuals, and viewers will automatically see them. They usually appear on TV programs aired online, advertisements, and any live content, as per the content creator's choice. They are burned into the video, usually with the motive to show something important, as in public announcements made by a TV or a news channel online.
  • CLOSED CAPTIONS
But on the other hand, that is not the case with CLOSED CAPTIONS. It's the free will of the viewer to see them or not while watching a video. Unlike open captions, closed captions are not burned into the track but are added manually later.
Apart from that, the basic function of the open and closed captions is the same, which is to provide a transcript of what's being spoken in the video.

Pros of captioning your videos

  • It presents a higher chance for your videos to get clicked by foreign audiences and establish a bond with them.
  • In the case of governmental or educational content - such as public notices, warnings, and awareness videos - captions become a key tool to spread information to non-natives.
  • Elevates user experience! It also gives an educe to non-native speakers to learn a new language. In short, it benefits all audiences.
  • Captions also boost the discover-ability of videos on search engines, which in turn helps to increase their reach and engagement with people globally.
  • Captioning also allows for easy translation into multiple languages, which adds to the video's international appeal.

AI-powered Closed Captioning with Human Touch

It is fast, cheaper and less time-consuming! Conversify India also offers AI-generated closed captions for videos. AI has undoubtedly revolutionized the closed captioning sphere, making the process more efficient and playing a great role in achieving accuracy.

Using automatic speech recognition (ASR) to transcribe audio into text, AI-powered captioning cut-shorts the time significantly. Not only this, but it also enhances the overall quality of captions.

But the human factor cannot be ignored, of course. AI does come with challenges! When audio is complex and unclear, with too many background noises all at once, the accuracy of the captions depends largely on language expert decision-makers. Conversify India keeps its linguists in the loop to avoid errors!

How Does Conversify India Caption Your Videos?

It is not as easy as it sounds, as open or closed captioning involves a meticulous process to ensure accuracy. Here is how our experts caption YouTube videos, films, or gaming content:
  • First and foremost: Creation of transcription
A linguist in our team or AI software will first create a transcript of the dialogue and audio cues in the film or any video content.
  • Time Stamping & Captioning
It takes hard work and experience to timestamp the captions derived from the transcript. When each line should appear and disappear on-screen takes patience and skill.
  • Captioning Formats and Standards
The captions can be encoded in various formats: SRT, WebVTT, or DFXP, to name a few, which adhere to industry standards for providing compatibility across different media platforms.
  • The last step is synchronization
The art lies in embedding the captions so beautifully in the video content that watchers find it easy to understand the video. These captions are synchronized while ensuring they appear at the right moments to match the pace of the dialogue together with the audio.
