Video Caption Corporation provides high quality English and Spanish offline closed captioning for all types of programming. Our closed captioning is done in-house from start to finish -- from transcription to encoding -- allowing us to offer our clients fast turnarounds, strict quality control and extremely competitive prices.
Top Quality
Our captioning has been evaluated by the Captioned Media Program (CMP), and Video Caption Corporation has been approved as a vendor for the CMP's Office of Special Education Programs, U.S. Department of Education.* The CMP is the only organization which evaluates the quality of captions produced in the United States, and fewer than 10% of the companies offering captioning services have met their strict standards.
Short Notice and Fast Turnarounds
No need to schedule your captioning weeks in advance. Using state-of-the-art non-linear workstations, we can assign multiple caption editors to work on the same program simultaneously – providing our clients with the fastest turnarounds and highest quality in the industry!
Choice of Styles
We offer our clients three different styles of captioning to fit their particular budget and type of programming:
● Basic Roll-up -- Roll-up captioning doesn’t have to be synonymous with “poor quality” captioning. We understand that while the FCC may have mandated captioning for your show, it didn’t increase your budget to pay for it. Our Basic Roll-up captions are accurately transcribed, carefully timed, free of typos, and will never cover your onscreen graphics. All unfamiliar terms are diligently researched for proper spelling, and the same multiple-level quality control reviews we apply to our Pop-on style and Premium Roll-up captions are applied to our Basic Roll-up captions.
● Premium Roll-up -- Our Premium Roll-up takes roll-up style captions to the next level. In addition to the high quality of our Basic Roll-up, our Premium Roll-up captions include a number of features that significantly increase their overall readability. For example, when captions are moved to avoid covering onscreen graphics, we do not simply relocate the three-line block of text. We anticipate the move by taking the text off the screen at the end of the sentence immediately prior to the graphic, and then begin the next sentence with the text in the new location. When consistent with the audio, we also time the text to come off the screen at the end of a scene and begin again at the start of the next scene. While this feature is common with high-quality pop-on style captions, it is virtually un-heard of with roll-up.
● Pop-on -- Studies have consistently shown that pop-on style captions are preferred by deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. Pop-on captions are carefully placed on the screen to indicate the speaker, and include descriptions of music and sound effects. They are the ideal choice for entertainment programming, where you commonly have multiple characters onscreen simultaneously.
Whether you’re interested in Pop-on style, Basic Roll-up or Premium Roll-up, all of our captioning is offered at competitive rates. And because our captioning is done in-house, we can provide you with an extremely fast turnaround when your schedule demands it.
