I'm going to show you how to add
subtitles on YouTube to help you get more video views and watch time.
Stay tuned.
Hi, I'm Sara Nguyen,
here to help you grow your business with video and social media design.

To create subtitles and the best way,
in my opinion, is to use an AI subtitle service.
Yep, a robot.
I personally want to use happyscribe.com and temi.com
because I like to have options.
They're cheap at around 20 cents per
minute captioned and the accuracy is actually pretty good.
You can get the transcript back in
minutes, not hours, unlike other services like rev.com.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
Now, to create a subtitle with
Happyscribe, I'm going to show you how right now.
Now, to add your
transcript and create one or your caption in Happy Scribe,
what you want to do is you want to take the link of your video
and go into Happyscribe, and we're going to click on New File here.
And then we're going to go to Subtitles.
I'm going to click on here, Link, and then paste the link to import it in.
And you can see here, I get to choose some preferences.
So I go with UK English,
but you've got also US English and other languages here as well.
So pick the one that's relevant to you.
I'm also going to select "Machine generated"
here so that it gets the AI to
do the transcription for me, and then click on Submit.
Now, it's going to do its thing.
And once it's ready, I'm going to get an email notification.
Once it's done, I'll see it in my transcript section.
I'm going to go in and click on it so I can start to edit it.
Now, it's really easy to edit the transcript here.
For the most part, it's actually pretty good.
You just simply click on the section and change the text.
It spelt my name wrong here.
I'm going to go in and delete that and just scroll through the rest
of the tutorial and fix the mistakes that it has.
But I have actually found it to be pretty
good and it was really quick to go through.
Now, once I'm ready and I've made all of the changes that I want,
I click on Download on the top right hand corner here.
And then I want to export it, the subtitles only.
And then I'm going to go...
Yes, that's the right format, the
.Srt, and download the file.
And this is the file that we're going to upload back into YouTube.
And it's downloaded it there.
So now back in your actual video, we're going to go in and edit it.
So let's go in and edit the video.
We want to go to the subtitles section here, click on that.
And then we're going to click here and we're going to go add language.
I'm going to select English, UK or US, whatever's relevant to you.
I'm doing US so I can add this and show you an example of it.
Then we're going to go subtitles.
I'm going to click on Add.
Here is where I go Upload File.
This is the file with timing.
I'm going to select that one and continue.
Then I'm going to choose that file from my desktop.
I just need to scroll through and I can
play it and make sure that it's appearing correctly where it should be.
Otherwise, I would simply make the little
changes through here and then click Publish.
And that's it.
And then it will appear here in the video subtitles section.
Youtube will add an automated caption here and I always delete it.
And I've already deleted it here.
But to delete subtitles, all you would do is go
into this section, hover over these three dots here and then delete them.
And that will get rid of the subtitles
if you've uploaded the wrong one or if you want to delete the automatic one.
I do that so that there's no question on which subtitles people want to choose.
Subtitles make your videos more accessible
and allow viewers to consume your content, regardless of their hearing ability.
And subtitles really also help YouTube to understand the content of your videos
and more accurately match your videos to what users are
searching for in YouTube and Google search.
And this boosts the visibility
of your content and helps you get more video views.
