Accessible content for employees
As a business, each of your employees need to have equal access to important information. Providing transcriptions and closed captions along with your video content ensures that employees with hearing impairments, disabilities, or employees who speak English as a second language, can better comprehend your videos.
Get started- Did you know?1 in 8 people in the U.S. (30+ million) aged 12 years or older has hearing loss in both ears. Closed captions help these individuals understand video content.
Reach a larger market with your marketing media
Statistics show that over 70% of US consumers watch online videos with the sound off. About 15% of American adults over 18 experience hearing loss and need captions to access videos. If you're not adding captions to your marketing media, you're losing a large number of potential customers.

Did you know?According to an Oregon State University study, 59.1 percent of people reported that closed captions in training videos are "very or extremely helpful."Better retention from training media
Closed captions are proven to increase retention rates for viewers. That means the information shared is better understood and remembered. When you need employees to understand important safety information, or consumers to remember a catchy marketing pitch, add closed captions and transcriptions to your media.

If you spot an error then the SRT file can be easily modified in any text editor.
