Captions for Videos: Boost Engagement & Accessibility

Adding captions for videos is no longer optional—it’s essential for driving engagement, improving accessibility, and boosting watch time. Whether you’re sharing on social media, embedding on your website, or sending to clients, viewers expect clear, accurate text that syncs with your visuals. With CreateStudio, you can generate professional captions in minutes, ensuring every word is seen and understood.

Why Captions for Videos Matter

More than 80% of users watch videos on mute in public spaces or at work. Without captions, your message can get lost. Here’s why captions should be part of every video:

  • Accessibility: Meets ADA requirements and helps viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing.
  • Engagement: Viewers on social platforms are 40% more likely to finish a video with captions.
  • SEO Benefits: Search engines index caption text, improving discoverability.
  • Comprehension: Non-native speakers and noisy environments become less of a barrier.
