Captions allow Deaf or hard of hearing people to access audio content. Some video services like YouTube use an algorithm to automatically generate captions. This is a fast but often ineffective method, as the captions are often incorrect.

A more inclusive approach is to use a custom video player, like Able Player or Plyr.io, that includes custom captions created specifically for your video.
