For years television shows and movies have made use of subtitles. The reasons for using subtitles vary; they may be a tool for the deaf, a translation device for foreign speakers or films, a way to watch a visual media in a loud room, or an aid for understanding difficult audio. The benefits of adding captions to online media like YouTube would fall into this last category. As many videos on sites like this are produced by non-professional equipment and people, the audio quality is not fantastic. In fact, there are instances when the speaker is so quiet that one has to lean into the screen just to catch half of what is being said. Still more frustrating are those who speak too quickly or with a slurred voice.
Increasing Online Visibility and Reducing Misinterpretation by Adding Captions to Online MultimediaOnline multimedia outlets that stream content are some of the most popular websites on the internet today. Sites distribute content based on categories and users can find the content they are looking for by searching with keywords related to this content.

Garbled audio, fuzzy visuals and static can all lead to misinterpreting what the user is watching or listening to. This phenomenon can be extremely detrimental to the online media content provider, especially if said provider is selling or advertising a particular service or commodity. One way that media providers have combated this phenomenon is by adding captions or subtitles to online media.
