In this article, you&#8217;ll learn how to add captions manually or use an auto-captioning service. To begin, simply open your account and click the &#8220;Profile&#8221; button. From there, click the &#8220;Privacy&#8221; tab and select &#8220;Captions&#8221;. Then, find the video you want to caption and click the &#8220;Add Captions&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_captions_in_TikTok\"><\/span>Editing captions in TikTok<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have uploaded a video to TikTok, you may want to edit the video&#8217;s captions. Although editing a video&#8217;s captions is a tedious process, it can be a great way to customize your videos. Captions are easily customized to move with the video&#8217;s action, emphasize different words, and include your branding. One drawback is that TikTok only supports a limited number of languages. For a more extensive list of languages, you can download Voicella, a free auto-captioning app.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know how to edit text in TikTok, you can download the free Quik app for Android. This app allows you to change font and color, and you can adjust the duration of text. Once you&#8217;ve added the text, you can also adjust the size, color, and alignment of the text. In addition to these features, Quik is packed with beautiful video templates that make editing TikTok videos a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want your captions to get in the way of your video&#8217;s content, you can edit the video after it has been posted to the TikTok app. The app allows you to edit a video&#8217;s captions by tapping the &#8216;edit&#8217; button at the bottom of the screen. Once you&#8217;ve added the caption, you can watch your video&#8217;s likes roll in!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_captions_manually\"><\/span>Adding captions manually<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a YouTube channel or a YouTube video, you can manually add captions to the video. TikTok videos automatically have captions overlaid at the bottom, but if you want to make them look more attractive, you can disable auto-captions and manually type in the text. Adding captions manually will allow you to change the font, size, and color of the text.<\/p>\n<p>Although manually adding captions to TikTok videos is time-consuming, it is faster and more accurate than external apps. Additionally, the captions will move with the action of the video, emphasize different words, and display your own branding. One drawback of TikTok captions is that they only support a few languages. To get around this, you can use free auto-captioning applications, like Voicella.<\/p>\n<p>Another method of adding captions to your TikTok video is to use auto-captions. Although this is the quickest method, it also results in more textual errors because the automatic transcription process may not catch every word. Additionally, automatic captions cannot be edited, whereas manually added captions can be revised for errors. It&#8217;s important to remember that the captions must be written in the language you wish to use.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_captions_through_auto-captioning_service\"><\/span>Adding captions through auto-captioning service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in adding captions to your videos is to add a text box above the video. After you have added a text box, click Save. If you need to edit the captions, click the pencil symbol and drag it left or right. This will take you back to the video&#8217;s edit screen. You can also edit the duration of the captions by tapping the timer icon.<\/p>\n<p>While putting captions on your videos is tedious, it is easier than using an external app. TikTok captions can move with the video, emphasize different words, and have your branding. Unfortunately, TikTok only offers limited language options. To make captions available to viewers in other languages, you&#8217;ll need to use a service like Voicella. Besides being free, Voicella is also supported in a variety of languages.<\/p>\n<p>A recent trial of automatic captions on TikTok showed promising results. But the service&#8217;s lack of flexibility and inconsistency in rendering accents can still be problematic. While automated captions are generally reliable, they cannot reliably render the audio and accent of people speaking a foreign language. This can lead to embarrassing caption mistakes. Adding captions to TikTok through auto-captioning service becomes a worthwhile investment for the platform and its users.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"275\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/70DByWoaSmI\" width=\"492\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Add Captions to TikTok If you want to add captions to your videos on TikTok, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
