Closed Captioning Services in San Jose, California

Yes. Closed captioning is available to anyone in San Jose and across California, on the same published rates and the same turnaround as everywhere else. Files move in and out online, so where you are makes no difference to the price, the deadline or who does the work.

Most closed captioning orders here connect to the Santa Clara County courts and the patent and employment practices filing there. A steady stream also comes from semiconductor and hardware companies and the contract manufacturers building for them. The recurring risk on this material is a caption that lands late or a speaker change that is never marked, which is why a second reviewer checks the file against the source before it is sent.

Yes. Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Tagalog and Punjabi come up regularly around San Jose, and each is handled by a native speaker of that language, with 100+ more available. Mixed-language material keeps every language as it was used, which matters on anything coming from the Santa Clara County courts and the patent and employment practices filing there. A translated caption track is timed separately, because reading speed differs between languages.

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 San Jose 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 San Jose changes nothing about the rate, because the same published prices apply across California and everywhere else. The rate follows the runtime of the video, not the number of caption lines the finished file contains. 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 San Jose 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 standard is 99+%, reached by doing the job twice: one person produces the file, and a second checks it before release. 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 San Jose, the institutions around it, the bodies people file with across California - so those are checked against the source.

Yes. Everyone who touches your material signs an NDA, transfer is encrypted, and access is limited to the people assigned to the job, usually one captioner and one reviewer. A lot of what arrives from San Jose comes from the Santa Clara County courts and the patent and employment practices filing there, where the material is sensitive, so restricted access is the default. Your own agreement can be signed before the first file is sent.

Whichever the platform requires: SRT, VTT, SCC, STL or burned in. Caption files are delivered to the standard of the platform you publish on, whether that is SRT, VTT, SCC or STL. Everything is returned by email in the format you asked for, which is why clients in San Jose never need to collect anything. Several formats can come out of one order, so the same material reaches a streaming service, a broadcaster and a learning platform without being rebuilt.

Upload the material, approve the written quote and deadline, and work begins - no deposit, no account to set up. Upload from anywhere in California, because there is no office in San Jose to visit, no appointment and nothing to post. Anything ambiguous is queried with you before work starts.
