Captioning provides written text for accessibility, benefiting the deaf/hard of hearing, non-native speakers, and people with disabilities. It’s widely used in various industries to promote inclusivity and accessibility. Skilled captioners use specialized software and equipment to transcribe the dialogue, sound effects, and other relevant information in real-time, ensuring a complete viewing experience for those who may not be able to hear or understand the spoken words. Captioning has become a legal requirement for many organizations, and it’s also considered a best practice for promoting accessibility and inclusivity. It’s an essential service that helps ensure that everyone can engage and enjoy content, regardless of their hearing abilities.

5 Issues with Closed Captioning Your Own Videos

Close captioning is a great way to make videos more accessible to viewers who are hard of hearing or deaf. Unfortunately, it can often be tricky to implement with your own videos, and there are plenty of issues that you may encounter.
