How To Create TikTok Subtitles

Subtitles, Videos December 9, 2021

Introduction

There are nearly 3 billion users on social media. In a Facebook study, it was reported that up to 85% of people turn off their sound when watching social media videos. So in this blog post, we’ll show you how to create captions for TikTok to ensure you reach those silent viewers.

Now imagine if you could reach everyone on social media, but 85% of them were watching your video with the sound turned off. If they don’t understand your video because they can’t hear what you’re saying, they’ll happily skip it without thinking about it. However, if you have captions, people are less likely to skip them. If you don’t have captions, you’re theoretically missing out on 2.55 billion viewers.

So basically, long story short, not having captions on your video content is one of the worst moves you can make as a social media marketer in 2020.

Now let’s narrow this theory down, obviously, you can’t reach everyone on all social media platforms.

Focus on Tiktok

We’re going to focus on one platform, and we’re going to choose the top app in the UK right now, TikTok. TikTok has been growing at a phenomenal rate, and as of January 2020, it has amassed 400 million daily active users. So even if a small percentage of those 400 million daily active users were consuming a pure video content platform without sound, you’d still be missing out on a lot of potential viewers, fans, and customers.

And I’m not saying that all video content needs subtitles. But if you’re talking or explaining something in a video, captions for that video will help you reach thousands, if not millions, of people. If you know a little bit about TikTok’s algorithm, you should know that getting more people to watch your videos can only be good for you.

How to create subtitles for your TikTok content?

First of all, you can manually create all the subtitles yourself using TikTok’s text editor straight from within the app. You have different style options for the text with a choice between five fonts; Classic, Typewriter, Handwriting, Neon, and Serif. The alignment of the text; Left, Center, and Right. As well as dragging it to the position you want and pinching it to the size you like. Then there’s also color, for the actual text or the text labels.

While this is an easy way to do it because you can do it directly within the app and gives you plenty of creative freedom of choice, it is very time-consuming because you have to type out all the text yourself. Also, I have to say that the biggest downside to adding captions directly within TikTok is that you have to manually set the time for each sentence you write out. And doing this with your thumbs on a small screen is a bit of a nightmare.

Try AutoSubtitle Online to easy add subtitles to your TikTok video

#1 Upload your Tiktok video

Record and edit your TikTok as you normally would, saving the subtitles for last. Once you’re all done, head over to the Autosubtitle and upload your video.

#2 Add subtitles to Tiktok video

Here, you can easily add subtitles to your TikToks. The reason I say easy is that once you upload your video to Autosubtitle, all you have to do is click on AutoCaption and it will automatically transcribe everything you say into text and place it at the right time throughout TikTok. So basically, TikTok subtitles.

#3 Customize your Tiktok Subtitles

Using Autosubtitle, just like on TikTok, you can actually customize these subtitles, including font, color, and placement. However, with Autosubtitle, you have more freedom in customizing your subtitles. And the best part is that you don’t have to do it sentence by sentence.

#4 Download your Tiktok video

Once you have placed and customized your subtitles. You can click upload, Autosubtitle will then render the video with your subtitles embedded. You can then take that video and upload it to TikTok with the subtitles.

Some Tips On Subtitles Extracted From MKV

1) You can edit subtitles in the editor

Auto-transcription can help you save a lot of time and money that you used to spend on manual transcription services, but it has its limitations.

In particular, if the audio quality is not good, or the words are not pronounced clearly, then the subtitles automatically extracted from your MKV video may not be 100% accurate (they should be mostly accurate).

Of course, you have to change those specific brand names that are difficult to transcribe automatically correctly.

In this case, just edit some subtitles with the editor.

2) Change the styles of your subtitles

change extracted subtitles style

Under SETTINGS, you can change the font, font color, font size, letter spacing and line height to make them appear more visible in the video or to better fit your visual branding guidelines.

You can also play around with the capital letters …… However, I recommend keeping the sentence formatted, as the case of the title may ruin the viewing experience if people have to stop and read each capital letter.

3) Upload your captions on YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn respectively to increase reach and engagement

According to recent research, YouTube analyzes your video content by reading subtitles uploaded to the platform as .srt or .txt files.

Helping your video content rank faster and better, which allows you to get regular organic search traffic and therefore a larger audience.

In other words, simply uploading captions for your YouTube videos can help you get more viewers! And if the same principle applies to LinkedIn and Facebook’s algorithms, you should also upload the subtitles in your videos as separate files! That’s why you have subtitles in your videos.

Of course, adding subtitles will make your videos more accessible to those who are hard of hearing or who just prefer to watch them in mute. As a result, you will reach a larger audience!

Automatic Vs. Manual Transcription Service: Which Is Better?

Subtitles November 29, 2021

Maybe you are familiar with transcription, but do you know there are automated transcription and manual transcription? When should we use transcription? And which one is better to use? This article will show you their difference and each advantage.

What is automatic transcription?

automatic transcription - autosubtitle online

In a world where the presentation of information and content is becoming increasingly diverse, it is more important than ever to be able to translate between different media.

The rise of podcasts, video-sharing platforms, and virtual communications means that information is now stored and encoded in a variety of different ways. While beneficial for many reasons, the ability to transcribe video and audio content into text remains valuable for archival, instructional, informational, and other purposes.

Automatic transcription uses voice and sound recognition software to generate a textual presentation of any audio without human intervention. Files are fed into specialized software and a complete transcription is quickly generated.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Automated Transcription for Individuals and Companies

Automated transcription offers a number of key advantages for individuals and companies over manual transcription.

Pros.

#1 For both individuals and companies, automated transcription can dramatically increase productivity. Whereas manual transcription must be done in real-time, or often much slower, automated tools can transcribe hours of audio in just a few seconds.

#2 Automated transcriptions can be used as a quick search tool for content. Being able to produce a complete transcription in a matter of seconds allows any audio content to be searched with specific keywords and phrases, which is much more effective than having to listen to the entire file. This is helpful for individuals investigating a particular topic or for companies conducting market research on the Web.

#3 Transcription software eliminates the need for companies to invest in staff for the transcription process, saving money and resources in the process.
Automatic transcription is extremely useful for marketing purposes, helping to analyze buyer interests and needs and to monitor interactions between customers and sales representatives.

#4 Automated transcription can also include translation, allowing both engagement and production of materials in any desired language without significant time loss.

Cons.

#1 Automated transcription will never be as effective as manual transcription. No matter how advanced the software is, small errors will occur. For individuals, this may not be a problem, as most errors can be understood or corrected on a case-by-case basis. For companies trying to archive material or analyze specific data, this may be unacceptable.

#2 Some transcription programs must be rented or purchased from software vendors. For some, this cost may outweigh the benefits of speed and efficiency.

What is manual transcription?

manual transcription - autosubtitle online

Manual transcription is a text version of audio or video material that is actively listened to and written or typed by a person.

Because a person is doing the transcription, they must listen to the content in real-time. Even then, the transcription can only be done as fast as a person can hear, understand and write what is being said.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Manual Transcription for Individuals and Companies

As with automatic transcription, manual transcription has its own advantages and disadvantages for both individuals and commercial enterprises.

Pros.

#1 Artificial transcription involves human interpretation. This means that errors inherent in automatic transcription by computer programs are minimized or completely corrected. Tones and emphasis that are not visible to speech recognition software can also be obtained through manual transcription.

#2 For individuals, manual transcription can be a useful means of learning new information, as transcription has been shown to improve memory and retention in the short and long term.

Cons.

#1 Manual transcription is much slower than automated transcription. In the time it takes one person to transcribe a page of text, specialized software can analyze and transcribe dozens or tens of times more with only minor errors.

#2 Manual transcription services would incur unacceptably large expenses. Companies that rely on bulk transcription would be at a distinct disadvantage, having to rely on paid personnel to operate at a slower rate than they can read.

#3 For individuals working on academic or work projects, having to manually transcribe something would take away time that could be spent on research or improving other areas.

#4 People trying to find specific audio clips or snippets of information are hampered by having to rely on manual transcriptions. Indexing a complete document by hand can take hours, whereas an automated transcription will produce a complete and searchable text in a short amount of time.

#5 Manual transcription is done on paper or in a word processor. Even those who can recognize and understand speech quickly may be hindered by poor typing skills or poor manual dexterity.

Why choose automatic transcription over manual?

While both methods have their advantages, it should be clear from these comparisons that automated transcription has distinct advantages over manual solutions.

First, automatic transcription is much faster than manual transcription. Manual transcription is limited in time by an individual’s writing or typing skills. Transcription programs are limited only by the speed of their software and work exponentially faster.

Transcription software is much less costly for large operations associated with commercial enterprises or marketing applications. In an enterprise environment, manual transcription takes a lot of time and money but still cannot match the speed of dedicated software.

4 Digital Transformation Trends in Education in 2021

Others August 13, 2021

The COVID-19 crisis has accelerated some existing trends in the digital transformation of education. The good news is that even before students were stymied, 60 percent of students believed that digital learning technologies improved their performance, and one in five of those students said that digital learning technologies “significantly” improved their performance

McGraw Hill’s Digital Learning Trends Survey.

The impact of technology trends in education

Even before the coronavirus crisis, digital technology was transforming education at an incredible pace. All stages of the learning process have changed dramatically due to digitalization. These trends can be harnessed to help students who are suddenly thrust into distance learning.

Traditional classrooms, printed books, and “one-size-fits-all” approaches to learning are now a thing of the past. Modern universities are adopting more and more innovative digital solutions to improve the student learning experience.

Let’s have a look at which digital trends in 2021 will affect education.

#Gamification & game-based learning

What was a dream for many 10 years ago is becoming more and more common – playing games as part of the learning journey. And it’s not limited to schools; you can see how universities and businesses are using games for education as well.

Textbook reading is often criticized as a passive method of learning that requires mostly memorization. The game element in education aims to promote active learning through experimentation and competition.

Gamification refers to simply adding game elements (leaderboards, badges, point ranking systems) to traditional learning methods, while game-based learning is learning by playing games.

CodeCombat is a good example of game-based learning. It is designed to teach you how to code while playing an RPG game. It is no surprise that this game is so popular among beginning coders in the US.

Duolingo is an example of the gamification of the learning process. Duolingo makes learning a new language fun by introducing game elements that are not only entertaining but also motivate you to try harder.

Part of the reason for Duolingo’s success is that it relies on microlearning – another trend in education. Microlearning refers to learning in short periods of time, rather than long periods of time. This type of learning is not only effective, but it fits the digital age – you decide when to learn.

Learning a new language on public transportation would have been unthinkable 50 years ago, but today it’s not a big deal.

#Audiovisual media

Text-based content is not necessarily dead, and students are still being asked to read a lot.

However, visual content is replacing and increasingly replacing, textbook reading.

Professors are already showing movies and YouTube videos in their lectures. And …… The lectures themselves are beginning to be recorded.

audio visual class-digital trends in 2021

#Remote learning

This trend has been around for a long time and is becoming bigger than ever. Lectures are being recorded, seminars are not mandatory, all homework materials are available online, and the list goes on and on …

Flexibility is a continuing trend in learning, and it’s not going away anytime soon. Whether e-learning will completely replace traditional learning in the future remains to be seen.

remote learning-digital trends in education

#Peer-to-peer learning / social learning

In the past few years, the social component of learning has gained widespread attention. Group-based projects have become an important part of many courses in universities.

What does this have to do with digital? Student portals, as well as social media channels, are used to facilitate peer-to-peer learning and collaboration among students. This is accomplished through the creation of specific forums, Facebook groups, etc.

Subtitles April 2, 2021

Subtitles are an important component of high-quality video productions:

“The most important thing is that we deliver the same high quality to our customers that Boris Grundl would deliver to you in person. Subtitles are part of that.”

In the past, many subtitle groups made attempts to create subtitles by their own part-time staff. It turned out that creating high-quality subtitles is an extremely time-consuming process. Further, subtitle creation requires expertise and technical know-how.

Not only the video content needs to be transcribed – which in itself takes a lot of time – but it also needs to be formatted and time-stamped. After hours spent trying to create high-quality subtitles for a video, Hummel’s team knew they would need professional help.

What is the difference between closed captions and subtitles?

Subtitles January 12, 2021
difference between cc and subtitles

What is Closed Captions and Subtitles

Closed captioning (CC) and subtitling are both processes of displaying text on a televisionvideo screen, or other visual display to provide additional or interpretive information. Both are typically used as a transcription of the audio portion of a program as it occurs (either verbatim or in edited form), sometimes including descriptions of non-speech elements. Other uses have included providing a textual alternative language translation of a presentation’s primary audio language that is usually burned-in (or “open”) to the video and unselectable.”

Closed Captions, aks. CC.

Transcription or translation of the dialogue, sound effects, relevant musical cues, and other relevant audio information when sound is unavailable or not clearly audible

Subtitles

-from Wiki

Difference between Closed Captions and Subtitles

The main difference between captions and subtitles is this. Subtitles are intended for viewers who can’t understand the language being spoken versus captions which are intended for viewers who can’t hear the audio.

Captions include all the sounds such as [laughter], [applause], and things like [car horn]. Basically, any spoken word and any non-speech elements are displayed in text form at the bottom of the screen. So that those with hearing disabilities can follow along with the video much more easily. Note that captions come in two forms: closed captions and open captions. This article explains the difference between open captions and closed captions.

Subtitles on the other hand are only a text display of spoken words. They don’t include any sound effects. They are for viewers who can hear audio, but cannot understand the language spoken. Video subtitles are often referred to as translations. Users can usually select subtitles by clicking the same CC icon they would use to turn on captions.

Captions

-Identify speakers

-Do not include non-speech sound elements

-Move when they cover up things in the video

-Include non-speech sound elements

Subtitles

-Translates audio into other languages

-Do not include non-speech sound elements

Are video subtitles the same around the world?

In the United States and Canada captions and subtitles follow what we have described above. In the United Kingdom and many other countries, the definition of subtitles and captions is murky. You can use the words subtitles and captions interchangeably. Regardless, both subtitles and captions are designed to make the video easier to consume regardless of who is watching, they mean different things around the world.

If you are in need of closed captions or subtitles and want an easy tool, try Autosubtitle.online. Autosubtitle is the only subtitle generator that can transcripts subtitles automatically and manually, and provide free translation, noise reduction tech, and the most important thing is that Autosubtitle is the cheapest one in the subtitling market.
