Language Captioning Services

Multilingual captioning is one video captioned into several languages at once, with a separate caption file per language. The work is produced by people and not by software, and what shapes it here is caption files built to the standard the platform or the regulator requires, so the deliverable fits how you actually work instead of a generic template. Every file is checked by a second reviewer before it is sent.

Yes. Multilingual captioning is available in 100+ languages, with every file going to a native speaker of the target language and a reviewer who also reads it. A translated caption track is timed separately, because reading speed differs between languages. Where a language is rare, availability is checked before the quote.

Upload or share a link, and the quote follows within minutes. Say what the multilingual captioning is for when you send it, because a filing, a publication and an internal record are formatted differently. A style note or template sent with the files is applied from the first delivery.

All of the usual methods are accepted: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Square, wire transfer and checks. Businesses can be invoiced monthly against a purchase order, and everyone else pays on approving the quote. Production teams and publishers are usually invoiced per project or per series instead of per file. Multilingual captioning is billed on completion against the approved quote, with no deposit taken up front.

Send it back and it is fixed at no cost: revisions are free for 30 days after delivery. If the video is re-cut, the existing captions are conformed to the new edit instead of being captioned again from scratch. Corrections on multilingual captioning are usually about house style and not mistakes, and once yours is set it is applied to every later order. Where a preference differs from ours, yours is applied and not argued over.

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. Multilingual 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.

It depends on length and on how difficult the source is, and the time is in the quote before you commit. Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours covers the urgent end. Timing is set by hand against the audio, so the schedule follows the real runtime of the video and not an estimate. Multilingual captioning is scheduled against the people who actually do this work, not against a general pool.

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 multilingual captioning is the detail a viewer would otherwise have to verify alone: names, figures, terms and anything the source left ambiguous.

Access is the control that matters, so it is kept to the assigned pair and nobody else. Multilingual captioning often involves material people would not want circulated, so the file is closed to everyone except the pair working on it. Unreleased video is routine here, so review links are restricted and nothing is held longer than the project needs. Transfer is encrypted, every person involved is under NDA, and files are deleted on request once you no longer need them held.

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