Subtitles can improve and enrich the learning process, as they make it possible to:

• make videos accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, thereby complying with Dutch Web Guidelines (website is in Dutch).
• make videos more widely usable for non-native speakers.
• enrich metadata and search capabilities: it is possible to search within the subtitles.

A transcription is a word-for-word representation of what is said in the video/audio file. A transcription can improve and enrich the learning process, as it allows you to:

• use a transcription for qualitative research in which the content of the speakers needs to be analysed.
• download a transcript and edit it in other programmes.
• not only watch a video but also read the transcription below the video.
