Vimeo Captions

Both captions and subtitles allow your videos to reach a wider audience. Subtitles provide viewers with a video’s dialogue in written form. They are designed for viewers who do not understand the language being spoken in the video. Captions include subtitles plus a written description of what is occurring in a video. They are designed for viewers who are unable to hear or who have difficulty hearing the audio in a video.
