OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT and DALL·E 2, has developed Whisper, an open source neural net that offers automatic speech recognition (ASR) with incredibly high accuracy.

Most people don't know that YouTube supports customized subtitle files, because they require a little extra effort and specialized programs (such as Captionfy) to create them.

Subtitles and closed captions play an important role on your viewers outreach and SEO.

Every YouTube channel has a special page within Captionfy, where all the public submitted subtitles for their videos can be found.

Follow these steps to create subtitles for YouTube videos in a simple and fast way. If you are not the video owner, you can still do it.

Since I started working on Captionfy I have learned a lot more about the benefits of having captions on your Youtube videos, especially if these captions were made by your fans.

We at Captionfy have often encountered ourselves sharing videos to our networks. However, this didn’t always work because some people could not understand the language in the video very well (usually English). We decided to take action and caption the videos ourselves.
