How to accessibility captions
- 1
Upload your video
Drag and drop your video file onto the CentClip upload page - no account creation required. CentClip accepts common video formats and begins processing immediately. Your first 5 minutes are free, so you can verify the quality before spending anything.

Review and correct the auto-generated captions
Once transcription is complete, the in-browser editor shows each caption line alongside its timestamp. Click any line to fix a word, adjust timing, or re-break a segment. This review step matters most for accessibility - errors in automated captions can undermine the experience for viewers who rely on them entirely.

Export in your preferred format
Download a burned-in MP4 with captions baked directly into the picture, or export an SRT or VTT subtitle file to pair with your original video on YouTube, Vimeo, or your own player. A plain-text transcript is also available when you need a readable version of the spoken content for documentation or search indexing.
Why choose CentClip?
Accurate enough to meet WCAG caption requirements with minimal manual correction
WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.2.2 requires captions for all pre-recorded video content with audio. CentClip's speech recognition handles clear narration cleanly across 50-plus languages, reducing the manual editing burden that makes DIY captioning slow. Most short-form videos need only minor corrections before the captions meet broadcast-quality standards. That means less time in a text editor and more time getting compliant content published.
Pay only for what you actually caption - no monthly minimum eating into your budget
Accessibility captioning workflows are often irregular - a burst of onboarding videos one quarter, a conference recording the next, nothing for two months after that. A subscription captioning service bills you every month regardless of usage. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute, credits never expire, and there is no cancellation process to navigate. That structure fits teams who caption on a project basis rather than as a continuous production line.
Outputs that load directly into any platform without format conversion
SRT and VTT are the two subtitle formats accepted by virtually every video platform - YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, Brightcove, and HTML5 video players alike. CentClip exports both, along with a burned-in MP4 for platforms that do not support external subtitle files. You are never locked into a proprietary format or forced to run a conversion step before your captions can go live.
