Adding captions have become a necessity in this time and age. It is important to be inclusive and captions enable a large number of audience to enjoy the videos without having to rely on the audio to understand the message. Captions have also become the latest trend. Videos look visually appealing if they have well designed captions. 

Captions also enable videos to be understood across different languages. People love watching content from other cultures even though they do not know the language. They are now able to enjoy these movies and dramas through translated captions. The world has truly adapted to captions very quickly.

While it is desirable to have captions on your video, it can be difficult to add them manually. Imagine if you have to transcribe word by word. It would take hours to add the captions.  Luckily there are tools which can add captions automatically for you.
