Closed Captioning Services in Rochester, Minnesota

Yes, and work from Rochester is handled entirely online: files are uploaded or shared as a link, and the finished work returns by email. Clients across Minnesota order the same way and pay the same published rates as anywhere else. A single short video is a normal order here, including a trailer or a social cut.

No visit is needed. Files are uploaded through the site, emailed, or shared from cloud storage, and the finished closed captioning comes back the same way, which is why clients well outside Rochester use the service on the same terms. The one exception is material that exists only on tape, disc or a memory card, and collection can be arranged for that.

Captioning is quoted per minute of runtime. Being in Rochester changes nothing about the rate, because the same published prices apply across Minnesota and everywhere else. Quotes are calculated from the runtime, whether the audio has to be timed from scratch and the caption standard you publish to, so two clients sending comparable material pay the same, and nothing begins until you approve the written total.

The date is fixed in the quote, and rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours is available where you need it. Because orders from Rochester are handled online, nothing waits on a courier, an appointment or office hours. Timing is set by hand against the audio, so the schedule follows the real runtime of the video and not an estimate.

The 99+% accuracy standard comes from human work plus an independent check: one captioner produces the file, and then a second reviewer plays the file back against the picture. Every file is played back on screen before release, because a caption that reads correctly can still land on the wrong shot. Local detail is where a distant supplier slips - street names in Rochester, the institutions around it, the bodies people file with across Minnesota - so those are checked against the source. That second pass is what catches a caption that lands late or a speaker change that is never marked.

Files are handled under NDA, moved through encrypted transfer and seen only by the assigned team. A lot of what arrives from Rochester comes from the hospital and clinic complex downtown and the Olmsted County courts nearby, where the material is sensitive, so restricted access is the default. They can also be deleted on an agreed schedule after delivery, with written confirmation.

SRT, VTT, SCC, STL or a burned-in version, built to the specification of the platform you publish on. One source file can produce several formats in the same order. Everything is returned by email in the format you asked for, which is why clients in Rochester never need to collect anything.

Upload or share a link, and the quote follows within minutes. Upload from anywhere in Minnesota, because there is no office in Rochester to visit, no appointment and nothing to post. Say where the captions will play - broadcast, a streaming platform, a learning system, social - because each sets its own standard. A style note or template sent with the files is applied from the first delivery.

Payment is by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Square, wire transfer and checks, and businesses and institutions can be set up on monthly invoicing instead of paying per job. Production teams and publishers are usually invoiced per project or per series instead of per file. Clients in Rochester pay exactly as clients elsewhere do, with no local surcharge and no handling fee. The price you approve in the written quote is the price you are charged.

Point out the passage and it is corrected at no charge, because revisions are free for 30 days after delivery. A local name or address written differently in Rochester from the way it was set down is a correction, not a dispute - say so and it is fixed. If the video is re-cut, the existing captions are conformed to the new edit instead of being captioned again from scratch. Work that goes beyond the original brief, such as a different template or a new style, is quoted before it starts.
