Closed Captioning Services provide video content accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing through timed captions, speaker identification, descriptions of sound effects, tone indication and denotations of music.
Closed captioning services and software both offer transcription services; however, human-generated transcriptions from closed captioning services tend to be more accurate than software-based transcriptions.
Uses of Captioning Services
Video can be an incredibly effective communication tool, yet not everyone can hear what is being said. That’s where captioning services come in; these more affordable alternatives to voice overs allow your audience to connect more closely with what they see and hear from the original media you created. We offer subtitling and closed captioning services for all types of videos.
Closed captioning is an audio-to-text transcription service that overlays text over visual images in videos, providing hearing-impaired viewers with an option to switch them on or off at will and access important details about its content – such as characters names, locations where scenes take place and background stories.
Video Captioning Services provide an effective means of reaching a wider audience and increasing SEO presence. By adding captions to your videos, they become more accessible to people with disabilities, expand the reach of your message, increase user engagement and enhance user retention. In addition, captions help non-native English speakers understand your video better as they learn the spelling of technical terms used within it.

Netflix & Amazon Support
Closed captioning, also referred to as timed-synchronized text that mirrors an audio track and can be read while viewing visual content, is an integral element of video that provides hearing-impaired viewers access to its meaning, including spoken words, details about who is speaking, sound effects like laughter or music playing, and background noise. As part of the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, closed captioning must also be displayed publicly at places of public accommodation or accessible public space.
Closed Captions should be legible and easily synced with video content. A quality service should offer various customization options such as font size/style/color/positioning as well as speaker identification/sound effects addition and global audience support for greater effectiveness.
An outstanding closed captioning service should have an outstanding track record in accuracy and customer support, in addition to fast turnaround times and producing transcripts that meet ADA compliance standards. They should also produce subtitles in different languages for videos they caption.

Other OTT
Closed captioning services offer many advantages to video creators. They can increase accessibility, searchability and engagement among deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers while fulfilling regulatory compliance requirements such as those set by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Unfortunately, finding an ideal service may prove challenging – factors to keep in mind include price, accuracy and turnaround times.
An effective closed captioning service must be both accurate and in sync with audio content, well-positioned on screen, with clear font. Furthermore, multiple languages should be supported so it reaches as wide an audience possible. Lastly, uploading caption files onto platforms you need should be easy and seamless.
Closed captioning differs from subtitles by including dialogue and narration, sound effects, speaker identification, indications of tone of voice indications and musical denotations. Closed captioning is required in the USA for videos produced by public entities and is becoming increasingly popular as viewers prefer muted viewing environments to avoid distracting sound levels.
As a result, the market for over-the-top closed captioning (OTT CC) has experienced steady growth over time. Some companies specialize in delivering high-quality closed captions to broadcast and streaming video content; other services provide translation and live captioning.
