What is auto-captioning?

Definition

Auto-captioning is creating subtitles automatically from a video's audio using speech recognition. It makes videos accessible and watchable without sound.

Why captions matter

Many people watch muted, in offices or on phones, and captions are essential for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. They also help non-native speakers follow along.
