Why TubeCaption?
Closed-Captions help the viewers follow the vidoes better, especially when 10% of the population is deaf or having trouble hearing. Online videos were seriouly lacking closed-captioning, because there wasn't an easy platform to add and deliver captions. TubeCaption was born to fill in this very need. We aim to leverage the community to ad captions to online clips.
We take web-captioning to a new level with our easy-to-use caption editor, the
Captionizer. Our caption editor has one goal: to simplify the process of making and publishing captions. Now, anyone can start working on their captions in 30 seconds.
We let search engines index the raw caption texts. For the first time, everyone can search directly for the videos by the transcripts, not just by title, descriptions, and keywords.
Imagine this: you want to look up a phrase spoken during the Presidential campaign, you can now look for both the phrase and where it was said during the video clips, by searching the captions at TubeCaption. We believe that this is one of the major benefits the captions brings to online videos: deeper and more relevant contents search.
Our Goals
We want all online videos to have closed-captioning so that everyone can watch and enjoy the videos
better.
We will remain a
free service, forever. We do hope that we can cover our hosting and other expenses through advertisements.
Captioning is a tedious process, so we incentivize the community efforts with Revenue Sharing. In short, we let the captions publishers run their Google AdSense ads (other services are also planned) along with ours. (
