Subtitles vs captions (closed captions) vs SDH — they're not the same thing, and picking the wrong one can fail an accessibility requirement or confuse your audience. Here's the plain-English difference, when to use each, and how to generate the right text track from your audio.
Microsoft Word can transcribe audio directly inside a document, but only under specific conditions. This guide covers what Word's Transcribe feature can and can't do, how to use it for live and pre-recorded audio, and what to reach for when you hit its limits.
