Captioning is the first step before translating

Captions are specially useful for people with hearing disabilities, and also in noisy places (like airports and train stations) or in places where audio can be a nuisance, like hospitals. Captions are a transcription of the original audio. Some words might be changed and repetitions are deleted to get short and compact sentences.

Customers can then appreciate the narrator’s intonation and expressiveness. This is the way to get the message across with every nuance.
