While viewing a movie or documentary, you can see subtitles at the bottom at certain times. You can often add subtitles to the YouTube video you are watching, which are not entirely in sync. You wonder if only these were added before.
These subtitles are added by a transcription process done by a transcript or transcribing tool that converts audio to text. This article will explore the importance of a transcript tool like Veed.io and how you can use it yourself.
Subtitles are essential for tutorial videos. The video is already a source of guidance for them. Still, those step-by-step instructions that are easily visible at the bottom help them properly take the process without missing any step.
How to Transcribe Video to Text with DemoCreator?
The best video editor for this task is DemoCreator. DemoCreator provides an easy-to-use interface that can help transcribe videos with just a few simple steps.
It is essential that you have a DemoCreator version 5.5 and above to utilize this feature. You need to sign in once the application launches and proceed with the respective steps.

Since DemoCreator also allows you to screen record. This gives you the chance to screen record any content you want and then edit it very easily using DemoCreator to transcribe it.
Transcribe From Video to Text
One would think that transcribing is a challenging task, yet it is super simple to achieve. Once your video is done, you can automatically generate subtitles. You can find the option that states ‘Caption’ on the top bar. Click this option.
Once you have clicked on it, the next task is to click on ‘Start to Recognize.’ This is to choose the language of the audio used in the video.
As you can see, DemoCreator even has different variants of the English language to adjust the captions according to the accent used in the video. Select the language to suit your video and click ‘ok.’
Once you click okay, the transcription process successfully begins.
Once the transcribing has been successfully achieved, the subtitles are visible at the bottom of your desired video.
You have successfully added subtitles to your video, but it does not stop there.
Adjust the Style of the Text
Once you have successfully added subtitles to your video, you can edit their style. The option to do so appears on the right side of your video.
When you click on ‘style,’ DemoCreator will display the entire set of editable options. Over here, you can change the font of the subtitles, make it bold, align its position, change its color, increase or decrease its size and make it italic. You also have the liberty to tweak the border surrounding the text, especially the opacity factor, to ensure it merges with the background perfectly.
One more added feature is that you can also edit the subtitles if you feel the transcribing done by DemoCreator’s automatic caption generator was wrong. Once you are satisfied with the subtitles, you can export the file and upload it wherever you like.
Other Effects
As discussed before, DemoCreator is an easy-to-use and versatile video editing software that gives you access to several other valuable effects. We will go over those to provide you with a better idea to choose the best effect for your video.

You can easily access these annotations through the options bar at the top of DemoCreator. Once you click on the option, you can select through a variety of different Annotations to use.
Once you select your desired annotation, you can also actively edit it, change its text and place it within the video to your liking.
