Why Do You Need to Create Automatic Subtitles for Videos?

Creating automatic subtitles for videos offers significant benefits for both content creators and viewers. Here are some key reasons why you should consider using this feature:

Expand Your Video's "Audience"

According to the World Health Organization, over 466 million people worldwide suffer from hearing loss. Without subtitles in videos, hundreds of millions of people are limited in their ability to access and understand your content.

Moreover, not everyone is fluent in foreign languages. By adding subtitles, your video content can reach people from different countries and regions.

Viewers Prefer Videos with Subtitles

Today’s audience tends to prefer watching videos without sound, especially in public places. A study by Verizon Media showed that 69% of viewers enjoy videos without audio. In fact, 25% of viewers even prefer to watch videos without sound while at home.

Therefore, adding subtitles not only helps you reach a broader audience but also meets the viewer's demand for flexible content consumption.

Improve User Experience

Subtitles are not only for people with hearing impairments. In many situations, such as watching videos in public transport or noisy environments, subtitles help viewers consume content flexibly without being dependent on audio.

Optimize SEO for YouTube Videos

Few people know that subtitles also play an important role in optimizing videos for search engines. When videos have subtitles, search bots can easily "understand" the content, helping your video rank higher in search results.

Subtitles bring many benefits to both viewers and video creators.
