Although I can’t find the source for this statistic, it’s often quoted that 85% of Facebook videos are watched without the audio. National Save Your Hearing Day is May 31, and it’s a good time to recognize that your viewing audience may not be listening to your audio because of a preference or an impairment.

I use both Wave.video and Milk Video to create captions on the fly. Both do a great job of transcribing and synching the text with the video. Then I just correct the transcripts, arrange the words in the video template the way I want and publish. It turns a talking-head recording into a dynamic, compelling video.
