How AI-Powered Captions Can Boost Your Video Engagement

Why Video Captions Matter More Than Ever in 2023

In today's fast-paced digital world, 85% of videos on social media are watched without sound (according to Digiday research). This startling statistic reveals why professional captions are no longer optional for content creators and businesses.

At Subler.com, we've developed AI-powered tools that make adding accurate captions to your videos effortless. Here's why you should consider captioning all your video content:

1. Accessibility for All Viewers

2. Improved Watch Time and Engagement

Viewers are 80% more likely to watch a video to completion with captions
Captions help retain attention even when audio isn't available
Enables better comprehension of complex topics

3. SEO Benefits You Can't Ignore

Search engines can index your video content through captions
Increases discoverability through text-based searches
Provides more context for algorithms to understand your content
