Closed Captioning Services language

Non-English closed captioning is a switchable caption track written in the language the audience actually speaks, rather than only in English. The work goes to captioners who do this particular job every day, not to a general pool, and each file is checked against the source by a second reviewer before it is sent. This site is built around caption files built to the standard the platform or the regulator requires.

Typically broadcasters and employers serving audiences or staff who watch in a second language. In each case someone downstream relies on the file being correct, so a caption that lands late or a speaker change that is never marked is not a small problem, and a second reviewer checks the work before it is sent. Most of the work here is for teams with an accessibility requirement to meet, not simply a preference.

Sound descriptions and speaker tags are written in the caption language too, not left as English fragments. That is settled before work begins and not discovered afterwards, so the first delivery is the one you can use. Reading speed, line length and line breaks are set to the target standard before the first file is timed.

Character sets, right-to-left scripts and accented letters are tested in the player before sign-off. Nothing there is an upgrade, and work that falls outside the agreed Non-English closed captioning brief is priced separately and only once you have agreed to it. The same timed file can produce a burned-in version and a sidecar caption file in one order.

All of them. Regional usage is the normal case in Non-English closed captioning, so files go to someone who grew up with the variety in question instead of whoever is free. Tell us where the speakers or the document come from when you upload. A translated caption track is timed separately, because reading speed differs between languages.

Captioning is quoted per minute of runtime. What moves the figure is the runtime, whether the audio has to be timed from scratch and the caption standard you publish to, so the quote is built from your actual files and not from a rate card. Non-English closed captioning is quoted per job rather than on a published unit rate, because the cost follows what you need done. You get an exact total in writing before anything starts.

Urgent work is covered by rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours, depending on length and how difficult the source is. Timing is set by hand against the audio, so the schedule follows the real runtime of the video and not an estimate. Non-English closed captioning is scheduled against the people who actually do this work, not against a general pool. Longer jobs are split across a coordinated team working from one style sheet, so speed never costs consistency.

The standard is 99+%, reached by doing the job twice: one person produces the file, and a second checks it before release. What gets checked on Non-English closed captioning is the detail a viewer would otherwise have to verify alone: names, figures, terms and anything the source left ambiguous.

Files are handled under NDA, moved through encrypted transfer and seen only by the assigned team. Unreleased video is routine here, so review links are restricted and nothing is held longer than the project needs. Non-English closed captioning often involves material people would not want circulated, so the file is closed to everyone except the pair working on it. They can also be deleted on an agreed schedule after delivery, with written confirmation.

SRT or VTT for web and streaming, SCC or STL for broadcast, or burned in where a platform strips subtitle files. The format for Non-English closed captioning is agreed at order stage, so the first delivery is the one you can file, send on or publish. Caption files are delivered to the standard of the platform you publish on, whether that is SRT, VTT, SCC or STL. The target format is confirmed before work starts, because retiming afterwards costs more than getting the specification right first.
