Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CC and Subtitles?
CC includes sound effects (music, slamming doors) for the deaf. Subtitles assume you can hear audio.
What is "Burned-in"?
The text is permanently part of the video pixels. It cannot be turned off.
Do you use AI?
We use AI for a rough draft, but a human *always* corrects and finalizes the timing.
Can you translate to Spanish/French?
This service is for Same-Language captioning. Translation is a separate product.
What file do I need for YouTube?
An .SRT file is the industry standard for YouTube.
