Captions

On-screen text of a video's spoken words, keeping viewers engaged when they watch with sound off.

Captions display what's being said as text on the video. Because most short-form is watched muted, captions are close to mandatory: they hold attention, aid comprehension and accessibility, and are shown to improve watch time. Styled, animated captions have become a visual signature of the format.

Accurate auto-captioning saves the hours it takes to transcribe and time-sync text by hand.
