The business case for captioning
We live in a multi-screen world. Replying to a WhatsApp message while a show plays, catching an email between scenes, half-watching, half-scrolling; attention is divided. And yet, one small feature quietly keeps us connected: closed captioning.

FAQs
What is the difference between closed and open captions?
Closed Captions (CC) can be toggled on or off by the viewer (common for TV and YouTube). Open Captions (Burned-in) are permanently embedded in the video pixels, making them ideal for Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn feeds where autoplay is silent
Do you offer audio description (AD) services?
Yes, through our partner network. While we do not create Audio Description tracks in-house, we can connect you with trusted specialists who handle the scriptwriting and recording. Once your assets are ready, Cape.io can manage the technical delivery, ensuring your AD files reach broadcasters in full compliance with regional mandates.
Why are captions important for SEO?
Search engines cannot "watch" video, but they can index text. Adding caption files (like .SRT) allows Google to crawl your video content, improving your rankings for video search results.
