YouTube subtitles

YouTube subtitles are text displays that show the dialogue and relevant sounds of a video in written form. They help viewers understand the content, especially if the spoken language is unfamiliar or if there are audio difficulties. Subtitles can be manually added by creators or generated automatically by YouTube's speech recognition technology. They can also include descriptions of non-verbal sounds or music cues to enhance accessibility. Overall, subtitles improve comprehension and make videos more inclusive for a diverse audience, including those with hearing impairments.
