One of the best ways to expand the reach of your videos is to describe them. Captions, as you may know, are on-screen text that makes your video content more accessible to everyone. You can add captions to your Android videos automatically or manually. Here's how to do it for both methods.
How to add subtitles to videos automatically
If you don't want to manually enter subtitles for your videos, try the following methods.
Add subtitles automatically via VLC
1. Download VLC for Android (free).
2. Open the app and select the video you want to play. Tap the screen to reveal the on-screen buttons and tap the play icon at the bottom left.
3. Expand the Subtitles menu by clicking the down arrow next to it. Then, select Download Subtitles .
4. A number of subtitles will appear. Tap the download icon on any of them and they will be added to your video.
If the subtitles don't match, you can make changes in the same window or download new subtitles. If they don't work automatically, you may need to attach them manually to play.
Add subtitles automatically with MX Player
1. Download MX Player (free) or MX Player Pro ($7.99) from the Google Play Store.
2. Open the app, you will see a list of folders on your Android device. Select a folder with videos to open the Download menu .
3. Click the three ellipses next to the video and select Search subtitle . MX Player will search and display the video's subtitles.
4. Now, click on Online subtitles . You will see a list of subtitles for the video. Select one and click Download .
That's all there is to it, subtitles will be automatically added to your video.
Add subtitles to videos using other apps
If you frequently watch videos on your Android device, using a dedicated app to download subtitles might be worth considering. The ability to add subtitles quickly and in batches with viewers is more convenient.
1. Subtitle Downloader
Subtitle Downloader automatically searches all the videos on your Android device. The app also allows you to rename videos so you can get accurate search results. You can use it to manually add subtitles and download subtitles in bulk - although this is one of the premium features.
If you have a lot of videos on your device and don't have enough space to store them, you can quickly move the app to the SD card to reclaim space.
2. Get Subtitles
Get Subtitles provides a quick way to find the right subtitles. The app automatically searches for videos on your Android device and displays them in the main interface.
Here's how to use it:
1. Open the app and select Auto Search to view available videos. If you can't find the video you want to watch, tap Manual Search and search there.
2. Select the video you want to add subtitles to and click Subtitles Download to display a list of subtitle files.
Select a subtitle and choose the download language. The subtitle will be added to your video.
Add video subtitles manually using VLC
Sometimes VLC won't be able to find your subtitles, so you'll need to manually download the subtitle file on your Android device. Luckily, you can search for video subtitles on Google.
Some popular websites that allow you to download subtitles for videos include Opensubtitles.org, Subscene.com, and Podnapisi.net.
Once you have downloaded the subtitle file, find it on your Android device and open it, it may have a .srt or .sub extension. If it is a ZIP file, you will need to unzip it first.
Once the file is on your Android device, follow these steps to upload it in VLC:
