Why Should My Podcast Have Captions?
Captioning is becoming increasingly important for a variety of reasons, including the present litigation landscape. The fact that technology is changing, video use and popularity are increasing, and the deaf and hard of hearing population is growing all contribute to captioning’s increasing relevance.
There are 466 million people worldwide who have debilitating hearing loss, accounting for 6.1% of the global population. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), that figure might climb to 630 million by 2030, and then to 900 million by 2050. Now, more than ever, you should convert audio to text to make your podcast more accessible and to stand a chance in the already crowded podcast industry.
