# Add Captions and Subtitles

Captions are no longer optional. Most social media videos are watched with sound off, accessibility requirements mandate captions, and search engines can index caption text for better discoverability. But manually transcribing and timing captions is tedious and error-prone.

ToolRouter's transcribe_video skill automatically generates accurate transcriptions with precise timestamps. Then edit_footage burns the captions directly into the video with your choice of styling — font, size, position, and color. The result is a captioned video ready for any platform without manual transcription or SRT file management.

This is critical for social media content creators who need captions for muted autoplay, businesses meeting accessibility compliance requirements, and international brands creating subtitled versions of their content for different markets.
