Closed captioning is essential and beneficial for many people. Not only it is the law, but you also expand your audience when you use captions.
Hearing people use closed captioning as well. Have you ever been in a loud room, a noisy gym, on the subway, or in an Uber and want to watch a video with the sound off so as to not disrupt your surrounding environment? Well us, too! In fact, studies have shown that 85% of online videos are viewed without sound.
How do you understand a video with the sound? Closed Captioning! Captions are helpful to everyone, and not just those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Without sound or captions, 41% of videos are incomprehensible.
Don’t leave anyone out of your message. Let us help you create more inclusive content!
Captions traditionally are created by people − highly trained professionals who understand the nuances of language and bring human sensitivities and contextual awareness to the captioning table. As an industry leader in captioning and accessible media solutions for more than three decades, VITAC strongly believes in the essential human element in creating captions. Our captioners are dedicated company employees who have been recruited, trained, tested and reviewed to ensure round-the-clock, reliable, secure and accurate customer service.
While some companies might tout their X factor, we rely on our “H Factor” (our Human Factor). We have real people creating your captions and real people available 24/7 to support you.
