Automatically translate subtitles
Translated subtitles are an affordable tool that video creators can use to help their content reach a wider audience in more countries and improve search rankings across languages. It’s also cheaper than translating speech through dubbing, and with SubCaptioner you have access to over 40 languages!
Accessibility
Videos that include translated subtitles are automatically more accessible to people in foreign countries and who speak foreign languages. By simply turning on subtitles in a different language, individuals from around the world can access any video in any language.
Usability
Videos that are translated into various languages can be used amongst a larger audience. Consider a training video for a business that has employees around the world. Instead of having to create the video with different speech languages, simply adding translated subtitles allows them to use this video with their global team without the extra work.
SEO Performance
Caption and transcription files are used by search engines to crawl videos for keywords and rank them higher in searches. This also includes translated subtitles which are used by search engines to rank videos for searches in foreign languages. Adding foreign language subtitles to your videos helps to boost SEO performance and a video’s performance online overall.
Engagement Rates
When a video is made accessible across multiple languages, more people are able to share, like, and comment on the video. This improves its engagement rates which help to improve how the video performs in SEO rankings and viewership.
Shareability
More people can share a video with friends, family, coworkers, etc. when the video is available in their spoken language. More shares on a video improve its performance on platforms such as YouTube and help to get a video organically in front of more people.

Live captions & subtitles are presented differently to the file-based equivalent. Text is presented word-by-word rather than as a complete block, with rows scrolling upwards as new text appears, we recommend using a limit of 3 rows to ensure that text is always readable. Text clears automatically when there is a significant pause in speech.
Live captions are typically 2-5 seconds behind the audio, a longer delay tends to mean more accuracy, better punctuation and better speaker detection. We recommend using the shortest “max delay” value that provides acceptable accuracy for your content.
The “Wait for accuracy” mode delivers the most accurate results as a complete phrase (in no longer than the Max Delay value). “Fast with updates” provides initial text results typically in less than a second but that text may be subject to visible changes as the ASR refines its recognition of the complete phrase based on later context (within the timescale of the Max Delay value).
