Generate Subtitles and Captions for YouTube Videos
As per the World Health Organization, more than 5% of the World's population is experiencing some hearing disability. On the other hand, there are around 7000+ languages in this World, and not everyone knows every language. Thus, the content you're making for your YouTube is restricted to a limited population— and with that comes the need for subtitles!
Recognition, engagement, and popularity— that's all a YouTuber would want! Adding subtitles to your YouTube videos will make them accessible to a wider audience, such as the deaf, people from other cultures, or those who have a hard time understanding your accent. Moreover, subtitled videos have more watch time than ones without them— due to being more convenient to watch anywhere, anytime.

Why is it important to add subtitles to a YouTube video?
Improve SEO for YouTube Ranking
Subtitles and captions enhance the SEO for YouTube videos and are more likely to rank higher in the searches for the keywords used in the subtitles and captions. The study also revealed that the YouTube videos with captions and subtitles have a higher viewership due to being more searchable on the search engines.
Get More Engagement
More than 36 million Americans suffer from hearing disabilities, and a total of 5% of the World's population will be unable to hear your YouTube videos. Here, the captions and subtitles provide an equivalent experience and make the videos accessible to a wider audience— including those with hearing loss, speaking foreign languages, and those who watch without any sound— increasing the overall engagement of your YouTube content.
Better Communication
Not everyone speaks and understands every language in the World. There are 7000+ languages in the World and making videos in any particular language limits your content. You can add subtitles in different languages to have another communication channel and improve viewer information retention.
