This is where Captions and Subtitle Services can be valuable. They utilize only professional transcriptionists, editors, and proofreaders—no speech recognition or automatic caption programs.

While some video-sharing, websites have automatic captioning feature, SEO experts discourage its use because of its high error.

Also, background noise, conversations containing jargons and hifalutin words, and overlapping speakers also contribute to the blunders made by automatic speech programs.

Furthermore, speech recognition gaffes can make even the most creative, motivating videos seem unpleasant or too comical to watch.
