Capital Captions is an international captioning, video editing and accessibility services company. With so many captioning, transcription and translation companies in the market, sometimes it’s hard to choose which company best serves your requirements. To help you make that choice, this blog covers what makes Capital Captions stand right out from the competition and a top international captioning and accessibility company. So, here we go… 

Professional Writing, Sound and Video Editing Services without AI.

We don’t use automation or voice recognition. Whilst we understand the perceived benefits of developing AI in terms of speed and cost, we believe in humans. We trust in professional, qualified captioners, translators and voice artists to always do a superior job to a machine. The difference between captions and video content created using AI versus that created by professionals is enormous, and here’s why…

Writing captions, creating voiceovers and translating video requires an understanding of the video content – something that AI does not have. Professional writers and editors constantly evaluate their own work for mistakes and they make editorial choices based on the understanding of what they are watching and/or hearing. In contrast, AI creates a product, replicating what it believes is being displayed or heard. It cannot correct itself or make editorial decisions. 

Fast responses and turnaround times. 

At Capital Captions, fast response and turnaround times are our specialty. Our standard turnaround times for both translation and captioning are 48 hours, and for urgent projects, we work as fast as within four hours of receipt of video files. 

Flexibility and a Huge Range of Accessibility and Translation Services. 

Offering both translation, editing and accessibility services, Capital Captions is effectively a one-stop-shop for your video to text needs. We are able to work with services including transcription, translation, closed captioning, subtitling, video editing, voiceovers, dubbing, BSL interpreting, audio description, post production script editing and document formatting, all under one roof. Our flexibility saves our clients both time and money, working between different providers. 

Excellent Customer Service and Friendly Advice. 

At Capital Captions, we believe in humans, not only in terms of our work processes but in the importance of customer service and advice. Captioning and accessibility projects can be confusing to work around, especially if you’re not experienced in what formats and requirements broadcasters and service providers have. Feel free to give Capital Captions a call or email any time and we can support you through how to get the perfect deliverables for your project. 

Accountability and Amendments 

The quality of our video and text services are second to none… However, in addition to our ethos and determination in providing the best captions, translations and audio descriptions in the marketplace, we understand that mistakes happen and sometimes changes need to be made.

At Capital Captions, we provide free amendments within 10 working days of your project being completed, and often outside of this time. We always work on amendments on an urgent basis and are happy to discuss any changes that are required where amendments are needed due to video changes and edits outside of our control. We happily receive and implement feedback from our clients and there are absolutely no barriers to resolving any video, caption, translation or AD issues that may arise.

So there you have it, this is what makes capital captions a top international captioning and accessibility company that you can trust. If you have a feature film or video which you would like to caption, subtitle or make more accessible to your audience, then why not get a quote from us today.
