LIVE AND OFFLINE (POST-PRODUCTION) CAPTIONS

Live captions are a part of live streams, webinars, meetings, lectures, etc. Here as the speaker speaks, the live captions are visible on screen. There are AI-generated live captions but human-generated live captions are always preferred as they are accurate and error-free.

Offline captions (post-production), on the other hand, are when captions are added to recorded audio or video. It is not a real-time captioning service. At myCaptioning we provide both live caption and Offline captioning services. These are used on various applications and digital platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Zoom, ON 24, and more.

CLOSED CAPTIONS AND OPEN CAPTIONS

Captions can be either closed captions or open captions.

Closed captions or CC appear on screen by choice. A user can turn them on or off depending on their requirement. Since closed captions are separate text that is streamed into the video and they can be turned off. Closed captioning are available for almost all video streaming platforms, be it YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, etc. The user needs to click on CC or Captions to turn the captions on or off.

Open captioning are a part of the video itself. In other words, it is ‘burnt’ into the media and hence cannot switch off. A user will see open captions appear on the screen without any choice. Open captions are part of movies, shows, or entertainment series on television. The advantage of open captions is that users save the hassle or extra effort to turn on the captions. It is much-needed for those with hearing disabilities, and while accessing a video in a player which does not have a closed caption decoder. However, closed captions are preferred for various online and digital needs since they allow viewers to take the call.

Captions convert audio into text. The idea is to verbatim transcribe whatever the speaker is saying into a textual or written format. Thus, viewers can watch the video on mute and follow the captions below to understand and enjoy the content.

Captions are also to cater to those with hearing disabilities. In fact, according to sections in the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), as well as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines or WCAG all multimedia require captions.

And hence, captions are useful for several reasons. They aid in understanding the speaker better in the case of different dialects or accents. Captions also help when users cannot hear the sound or purposely mute videos for quiet viewing. Besides, captions also add in brackets the background sounds and noises in the video. It adds to the positive user experience of viewing the video and makes it accurate. So a car honks or music plays in the background, a caption in brackets will signify the same.

Captions in businesses, webinars, meetings, Universities and educational institutions, the entertainment industry, content creators, and more are the need of the hour.

FOREIGN SUBTITLE

Subtitles like captions are in text format, but they also translate the spoken language. Thus, when you view a foreign language film, the English text at the bottom of the screen are the subtitles. Thus, foreign subtitles and foreign films with subtitles help to increase the viewership of the film across borders and languages.
At myCaptioning we provide both Verbatim and Non-Verbatim captions/subtitles based on the clients demand.
At myCaptioning, our certified and bilingual captioners are adept at adding both captions and subtitles to audio or video files.
