Many people watch videos in the feed without sound. With subtitles and short overlays your message still gets across, including to people with hearing impairments, and you only correct instead of typing everything out.

Is this for you?

  • You publish videos with spoken words, such as interviews, behind-the-scenes clips or explainer videos.
  • Subtitles have been missing so far or take a lot of time because they are typed by hand.
First step today

Take a finished short video and have automatic subtitles created in your editing software or in the platform’s app. Copy the text into the template below, have it corrected and ask for three short overlays.

How to go about it

  1. Define the style
  2. Have the text recognised
  3. Correct names and technical terms
  4. Derive text overlays
  5. Check readability
  6. Maintain a word list and template
