Introduction
Subtitles and closed captions transcription refers to the process of converting spoken audio in videos or films into written text that appears at the bottom of the screen or as separate files. Subtitles generally convey the dialogue, while closed captions also include non-verbal elements like sound effects, speaker identification, and music cues. This service covers a wide range of media, including TV shows, movies, online videos, corporate videos, and educational content, ensuring that your media is accessible to a broader audience.
Subtitles and closed captions transcription are essential for accessibility, making media content available to people with hearing impairments. This service is also crucial for global audiences, allowing your content to reach people who speak different languages. Moreover, closed captions improve content discoverability and engagement, making it easier for viewers to follow along and interact with your material. For businesses, ensuring compliance with accessibility regulations is vital, and offering subtitles or captions is often required to meet these standards. By transcribing your media content into captions, you improve its reach, usability, and compliance with international accessibility standards.
