Tutorial
Make every word readable and searchable.
Add captions to the player and generate a transcript viewers can read, search, and click to jump to the moment a phrase was said.
What it covers
Captions, step by step
Adding captions
Uploading a caption file or generating one, then checking it against the recording.
Transcripts
Producing the transcript that sits alongside the video and stays in sync with it.
Search and jump
Letting viewers find a phrase and land on the exact second it was spoken.
Why it matters
Captions are an access requirement and a search surface
They serve viewers who need them, viewers watching without sound, and anyone hunting one sentence in forty minutes of footage.
- Meet the accessibility requirement your content already has
- Watchable with the sound off, which is how much of it is watched
- Turn a recording into something searchable
