Common Questions

Frequently asked questions about
Swahili closed captions

What's the difference between closed captions and subtitles?

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.

Are Sonix captions ADA compliant?

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.

Can I add sound effect descriptions to captions?

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.

How accurate are Swahili closed captions?

Sonix delivers 85-99% accuracy for Swahili 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.

What platforms support closed captions?

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.

Can I burn captions into my video?

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.
