Closed captioning services

Captions transcribe speech and relevant sound for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing, and for people watching without sound. They differ from subtitles because they include non-speech information.

Before you start

  • The accessibility rules that apply to your content.
  • Whether captions are live or recorded.
  • The language, and whether translations are also needed.

What you receive

Caption files timed to the video, with speaker and sound notes.

A common mistake

Treating auto-generated captions as finished, without a human check.

How it works

  1. 01

    Brief

    You tell the studio what the piece is for, who will hear or see it and where it will run.

  2. 02

    Produce

    The studio casts, directs and produces it, with native speakers for every language.

  3. 03

    Review

    A person checks the result against the brief, and a native speaker reviews each language, before delivery.

Questions

Are captions the same as subtitles?

No. Subtitles assume the viewer can hear and translate the speech. Captions describe speech and important sounds for viewers who cannot hear.

One project, several markets?

If the work spans several services or languages, talk to the studio directly and we will put the right team on it.
