You must have seen the CC button in the lower right corner of a YouTube video. Click on it the next time you're watching a YouTube video! As you might expect, CC stands for Closed Captioning, which is the text that appears when a video is playing and shows voice. Closed captioning is enabled when you click the CC icon. Closed captions and subtitles are an excellent method to add value to your visitors' viewing experience.
Viewers will be more engaged with you and your films if you make material accessible. But how can you make these subtitles automatically?YouTube creates subtitles with voice recognition technologies, but the quality isn't perfect. Mispronunciations, accents, and background noise can all affect it. YouTube recommends that users check automated subtitles and change portions to verify that they are consistent with the audio. Subtitles for the following languages can be generated automatically by YouTube are English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
If Your video's subtitles are available, YouTube will add them to the video automatically. However, depending on the quality and consistency of the video and audio, users might expect additional processing time.Additionally, you may find that subtitles are not immediately available. While this is an excellent option that YouTube can provide your users, video creators should always submit their own professional subtitles and captions first.
How to add Auto Generated Subtitles to YouTube Video?
To observe automated subtitles and make adjustments if needed, follow these steps:
- Open YouTube Studio and log in.
- Select Subtitles from the left menu.
- Select the video to which you want to add subtitles.
- Next to the subtitles you want to edit, click More (you should see three vertical dots) under "subtitles." Examine the automated subtitles for any areas that don't match the audio and change or remove them.
