VIDEO ACCESSIBILITY · Workflow idea

Make a clip easier to follow—and make sure the captions say what the speaker said.

For a creator or communications team with rights to a source video, prepare captions using an approved style and save a separate draft for review. Captioning can mishear names, technical words, or sensitive statements, and automatic styling may reduce readability. Protect the original video, verify speech and timing, preserve meaning and accessibility, check rights for any music or people shown, and require an editor to approve the final clip before it is posted or shared.

Keep in mind

Speech recognition can misstate names, numbers, or meaning, and a styled caption can be hard to read. Check the full video and transcript, retain required rights and credit, and do not publish before an editor approves it.
