Create closed captions and subtitles automatically for your video with our fast and accurate closed caption software. Advanced speech recognition technology quickly converts speech to text to create closed captions in just minutes.
Automatic Closed Caption Generator
Automated closed captioning is 12X faster than manual closed captioning and more affordable. While human captioners can take 4 times the length of the video to create closed captions, automated closed captioning takes just minutes. Powered by advanced automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology, SubCaptioner provides accurate closed captions and subtitles that are just as good as those made by humans, but much quicker and less costly.
Our closed caption generator is also easy-to-use and accessible 24 hours a day. For last-minute closed captioning needs, SubCaptioner is available to give you an SRT file in just minutes. There’s no scheduling with humans involved or waiting 2-3 business days for your file. Simply upload your media, pay, and download your closed caption file.
Adding transcription and closed caption files to the audio or video content you post online can improve your content’s accessibility, usability, SEO performance, engagement rates, and shareability.
69% of people watch videos online with the sound off. Without closed captions or a text transcript, content isn’t accessible to them. Content that isn’t captioned also is inaccessible to individuals who are deaf or experience hearing loss.
Consider, also, the benefits of having a written text version of your video or audio file. Captions can be used as text files to easily pull quotes and create content for social media as well as store information for future reference and use.
Closed captions are full of keywords that make it easier for search engines, such as Google, to crawl and index your content. Better indexing leads to more search traffic and viewers.
Videos that are captioned get 40% more views and often experience a longer average watch time. When viewers watch the video the whole way through, they’re more likely to interact by liking, commenting, or sharing.
It can be difficult for viewers, especially viewers who are also reporters, to share direct quotes from your content if it isn’t transcribed into captions. Providing a transcript of your content gives individuals the chance to copy and paste portions of what was said and share it with their own personal communities.

Many video players (such as VLC) allow you to preview your video with captions from an SRT file such as that created by SubCaptioner. If you spot an error then the SRT file can be easily modified in any text editor. For more advanced editing and/or longer media files, we recommend a caption/subtitle editing software such as WinCaps.
