Closed Captions

What Is Closed Captioning? Closed captions(CC) are a textual representation of the audio within a media file.

important

The Close Captions feature is disabled by default. Please contact Banuba representatives to know more about using this feature.

Over 80% of videos played on mobile devices don’t have sound turned on. This means many forms of content (e.g. skits, monologues, educational clips, etc.) will be skipped if there are no subtitles. But making captions by hand is tedious. AI-generated subtitles solve this issue, as they are created and placed automatically. The users can then edit the text as well as change its style and color.
