Professional Closed Captioning Services

Captioning is the process of using any audio content of a film, broadcast, live event, audio or other production to create a text format which can be displayed at the bottom of the screen. Captioning helps those who have hearing impairments or difficulty hearing to benefit from media materials.

People often confuse subtitle with captioning, only the best closed captioning services can understand it better and deliver it accurately to their clients. As captions are meant for hearing impaired, audience who cannot hear the audio. For such individuals, captions communicate the video spoken words, background noises, song lyrics into text format. Whereas subtitles are intended for viewers who can hear the audio unless they can’t understand the video spoken language, they enable subtitles to get clear understanding about the video. Other way, subtitles are trickier because they translate the nuances of a spoken language into viewer’s language.

Captions are available both open and closed. Open captions are the texts that “can’t be turned off” by the viewer. On the other hand, closed captions “can be turned off” depending on the viewer mindset.
