YouTube is well known and respected for supporting captions in their online player since 2006 and providing simple tools to add captions. There’s another online video player by Vimeo that is also very popular, but at this time, unfortunately, does not support captions.

Being an all-round Apple customer – having a MacBook, an iPad, an iPhone, I love their great products. However, I have noticed that the lack of captioning support for YouTube videos on their portable devices, specifically iPhone and iPad, is a shortcoming.
While YouTube offers great and simple tools to make captions, there are numerous videos online offered in other formats such as Vimeo that at this time do not support captions.
To solve this problem, Universal Subtitles developed an online software that allows you to embed videos with subtitles without changing your current publishing workflow. This is also a great solution if you want certain videos online be accessible via captions but cannot log in their accounts in order to add captions.
