It is increasingly important that we make our videos (and all other media as a matter of fact) more accessible, in other languages for other audiences but also in other ways so that users with restrictions also can access them. Now that video is so widely available, people are using subtitles also more and more so that they can view in “quiet” mode, in order not to disturb others around them. Adding transcriptions and subtitles is not too difficult, but it ‘s a bit like writing software code: it has to be accurate. When you are creating your own subtitles in WEBVTT format, you may want to use a smart and simple tool like Live WebVTT Validator to quickly check your subtitles and see if and where there are errors. WebVTT files provide not only captions or subtitles for video content, but also text video descriptions, chapters for content navigation, and more generally any form of metadata that is time-aligned with audio or video content. The Live WebVTT Validator works in a web browser and can check all of these fast and accurately for consistency. Go to https://quuz.org/webvtt/
