Vimeo caters to a specific type of video. It has evolved to attract the artistic flare and maintains the same in its platform. The target audience has similar tastes but has cultural and geographical differences. Primarily the audience base is in America, but globalization and content localization has reached many parts of the globe. The main elements for content localization are part of the post-production process. It includes subtitling and captioning. 

Vimeo provides an option of auto-generators for automatically creating captions and subtitles for your videos. The accuracy and reliability of the tool are risk factors that cannot be overlooked, so many content creators have turned to third-party tools to create subtitles and captions for their videos. The autogenerated captions do not provide access to the viewer due to inaccuracies in the captions. Sometimes they just don’t make sense and give the wrong information and hurt the credibility of the video content. 

A third-party tool like Wavel uses AI to provide content localization services and integrates with Vimeo. This makes this tool much more accessible when adding captions and subtitles to your videos. Check the steps below to add captions and subtitles to your videos.

Adding subtitle and captions also bring inclusivity that, in turn, increase the videos’ reach and helps build a viewer community for your content. The subtitles provide aid to non-English speakers and also to people with hearing aid.
