videos is a great way to make them more accessible and improve their overall quality. Captions can help viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing understand the audio content, and they can also be useful for viewers who are watching the video in a noisy environment.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, a 2015 study through 3Play Media and Oregon State University found that 35% of students reported using <a href=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/free-closed-captioning-software.html\">closed captioning<\/a> often or always. 19% sometimes used closed captioning. <a href=\"https:\/\/go.3playmedia.com\/rs-student\">Over 50% used closed captions<\/a> to help them learn through video at least some of the time.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, captions can help improve search engine optimization (SEO) by making your videos more discoverable online. Plus, many businesses are required to provide captions under the Americans With Disabilities Act. Adding captions to your videos is quick and easy using Camtasia&#8217;s built-in captioning tools, so there&#8217;s no excuse not to add them!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Captions_vs_Subtitles\"><\/span>Captions vs Subtitles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Captions\"><\/span>What are Captions?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Captions are text descriptions of the audio content in a video. They can be used to provide viewers with information about what is happening in the video, and they can also be used to provide a transcript of the audio.<\/p>\n<p>Captions are an essential part of web accessibility. They help people who are blind or visually impaired.<\/p>\n<p>Captions can be displayed on-screen in real-time as the video is playing, or they can be added as a separate file that can be viewed alongside the video.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use closed captioning or open captioning. With open captioning, the viewer cannot turn them on or off, they will also be displayed. Closed captions can be turned off by the viewer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Subtitles\"><\/span>What are Subtitles?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Subtitles are text descriptions of the visual content in a video. They can be used to provide viewers with information about what is happening in the video. Subtitles can also be used to provide a transcript of the dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>A subtitle will often accompany a spoken word track, which might be dubbed over live-action footage. Subtitles are usually displayed above or below the main audio track.<\/p>\n<p>Subtitles can be displayed on-screen in real-time as the video is playing, or they can be added as a separate file that can be viewed alongside the video.
