Captioning & Subtitling Services

Unlock the power of words with our Subtitling and Captioning services

When it comes to video content, accessibility is the key. In today's digital age, videos act as a powerful tool for businesses to relay their message to the audience. However, not everyone can comprehend the audio content in a video, especially those who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Do you know?
  • According to World Health Organization, over 5% of the world's population, or 466 million people, have disabling hearing loss.
  • A recent study by Verizon Media found that 80% of viewers are more likely to watch a video all the way through if it has captions.
Caption your video

That's where captioning services come into the picture. They are meant to improve the experience for those who are hard of hearing and help the business reach a wider audience. Adding captions to your video can drastically upgrade the quality of your video. From marketing agencies to educational institutions and government and public institutions, captioning can benefit several industries. Apart from increasing accessibility to the deaf and hard of hearing captions can offer several other perks to a video.

With the captions, the audience can better understand the video. They can enhance the SEO as well as video views as the search engine cannot view your video but it can crawl the text of the captions. Captions not only describe what people are saying in the video but also elucidate what is happening in the video. So in order to help the creators get what they want from their videos, we at Semantics strive to deliver fast, reliable, affordable, and accurate captioning and subtitling services.

Captions that complement the experience of viewers:

Why Subtitles are Vital ForVideo Production ?

According to research, 85% of people watch videos with the sound off. So how do they understand the video? Here comes the role of subtitles. With quality subtitles or captions, your video reaches a much wider audience. Moreover, when your video has subtitles, the crawlers go through the content and as a result, your content gets a higher ranking on the search engine. Videos offer you a much more effective way to provide information to your audience. However, without subtitles, you cannot experience the actual potential of the videos.

Who Needs Subtitling and Captioning Services ?

Marketing agencies and departments require caption ads, webinars, and other promotional content to increase engagement and boost search engine visibility for a wider audience reach.

Filmmakers, production companies, and content creators use subtitling and captioning services to make their content accessible to a wider audience. By including subtitles and captions, they can reach individuals with hearing impairments, non-native language speakers, and viewers who prefer watching videos with text support.
Media and entertainment companies partner with us to increase the volume of their audience by improving the accessibility of their videos, films, and TV shows for everyone.
Education is also digital these days. So schools and online educators rely on us to caption and subtle webinars, lectures, and training to ensure students from all over the world get an equal learning opportunity.
Government organizations and public institutions often provide access to information and services for individuals with disabilities. Thus, subtitling and captioning services enable them to make their videos, public announcements, and educational materials accessible to a diverse audience.

Open Vs. Closed Captions

Open and closed captions are two major types of captions that bring your video to life.

Open captioning is a form of subtitling in which the captions are permanently added to the video and they cannot be turned off. They are typically used when the content is intended for a specific audience that requires the captions to be displayed all the time, such as in public places like airports or classrooms for students with hearing impairments. Contrastingly, closed captions can be turned on and off by the viewers. They are typically used for TV programs, movies, and other media, where viewers may want to watch the content without the captions.

Subtitling Vs. Captioning

Subtitling and captioning both are text-based methods used in audiovisual media to increase accessibility. Subtitling focuses on translating dialogue for viewers who don't understand the spoken language. Captioning, on the other hand, provides textual representations of all audio elements for the deaf or hard of hearing.

Simply put, subtitles are primarily used in foreign language films, allowing viewers to read translated dialogue. However, captions include not only dialogue but also sound effects, music descriptions, and other relevant audio information.
