What is the difference between captions and subtitles?
Closed captions include speech plus sound effects and speaker identification for accessibility, and can be toggled on/off. Subtitles usually assume the viewer can hear and focus on translating dialogue.
What formats do you deliver closed captions in?
SRT, VTT, SCC, TTML and burnt-in (open) captions — whatever your platform or broadcaster requires.
Do closed captions help SEO?
Yes. Captions give search engines crawlable text for your video, improving discoverability, and captioned video tends to be watched for longer.
Can you caption in multiple languages?
Yes. We translate and localise captions in 100+ languages with native linguists, timed to the right reading speed.
How much does closed captioning cost?
Captioning is priced per minute of video and depends on languages and turnaround. Send your video for an exact quote, backed by our Price Match Promise.
