Create Japanese closed captions

Closed captions include all audio elements (dialogue, sound effects, music cues) for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. Subtitles typically only include dialogue and are meant for viewers who can hear but don't understand the spoken language. Sonix can create both.

Yes. Sonix generates captions that meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), Section 508, and WCAG 2.1 accessibility requirements. Our captions include accurate timing, proper synchronization, and support for required caption formats.

Yes! In the Sonix editor, you can add non-speech audio descriptions like [music playing], [applause], or [door closes]. These descriptions help deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers understand the full audio context.

Sonix delivers 85-99% accuracy for Japanese captioning depending on audio quality. Clear audio with minimal background noise achieves the best results. You can review and edit captions in our browser-based editor.

All major video platforms support closed captions including YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Wistia. Sonix exports SRT and VTT formats compatible with all these platforms and more.

Yes! Sonix offers a burn-in feature that permanently embeds captions into your video file. This is useful for social media where closed captions may not display automatically. See our burn-in subtitles service for more details.

Sonix's Japanese model is built around standard (Tokyo) Japanese and generally handles regional accents, but strongly dialectal vocabulary such as Kansai-ben expressions may need corrections in the built-in editor.

Yes. After transcribing, you can split the Japanese transcript into subtitle lines and export SRT or VTT files for video captioning.
