FOCUS ON WORK
Increase your reach
Adding subtitles to your videos means your content will be accessible to more people. Most social media videos are watched on mute. More and more people are choosing to watch videos in this manner. Solution? Auto-captions! By auto-generating subtitles for your videos, you can make your content accessible to thousands more viewers, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Add captions to video: See a jump in engagement
Video captions are a great way to capture your audience’s attention, highlight specific words or phrases, and key your viewers into the most important messages. Additionally, adding subtitles to your videos will help you achieve a higher CTA clickthrough rate. Viewers on social media platforms are also more likely to watch a full video if it has subtitles. Making engaging content has never been easier with VEED.
Make your videos searchable
You can make your videos searchable on search engines by including a text transcription of the entire video. And you don’t need to learn complicated configurations to learn how to add subtitles to your video. Just click ‘Subtitles’ > ‘Auto Subtitles,’ our speech-recognition software will convert your audio to text and create auto-captions for your content. This will allow more people to discover your video content, leading to more views, clicks, and followers.
