Typito lets you create subtitles/captions using three ways:

1. Create Subtitles Automatically: Learn how

2. Uploading an SRT file: Learn how

3. Creating subtitles manually by manually transcribing 

If your video has good quality audio and audible voice, you should definitely try out the Automatic speech-to-text capability (it's pretty accurate). In case your audio is distorted in places, or if you don't have an SRT file or want to add subtitles in a language other than English, you might want to try adding subtitles manually.

Let's learn how to add captions manually to your project, step by step.

If you’re only looking to add subtitles, then keep the original language and the subtitles language the same.

Note: You can also add subtitles in another language. If you’re looking to add translated subtitles, choose the original language and then choose the language you want to add subtitles in.

Don’t worry about the font or colors, you can always change these in the next steps. Use the preview to ensure that the theme you select doesn't distract from the viewing experience.
