Subtitles for Customer Education Videos

Why Customer Education Videos Need Subtitles

A user watching a product tutorial is trying to accomplish something specific. They found the video because something in the product was not immediately obvious. If the video is hard to follow, whether because they are watching without sound, in a noisy environment, or simply missed a step, they stop making progress and open a support ticket or give up. Subtitles reduce that failure mode.

Customer education video is often embedded directly in a product, a help centre, or a post-signup email. In those contexts, the viewer is at a desk and focused, but audio is not always on. Subtitles make the video useful regardless of the viewer's sound situation, and they make it easier to follow along while also doing what the video is showing.

The consequences of a user not understanding a tutorial are concrete. They stop at a step they cannot complete, they raise a support ticket, or they decide the product is too difficult and stop using it. A help centre video that is easy to follow reduces all of those outcomes. Subtitles that read clearly through each step of the process make the difference between a user who completes the workflow and one who does not.

What You Get

• SRT file for upload to your help centre platform, video host, or product player

Subtitle Quality in Product and Help Centre Video

Auto-captions produced by video platforms are built for transcription, not for readability. In a step-by-step tutorial, a subtitle that breaks mid-instruction or runs faster than the viewer can read breaks the comprehension that the video is trying to create. The cost is a user who did not understand, and who is now less likely to succeed.
