Closed Captioning Services

What are closed captions?

Closed captions, also referred to as English subtitles, appear as text on the bottom of your screen, and typically represent a person’s speech as well as sound effects and musical cues.

Adding closed captions to video is a crucial part of the production process. English captions improve video accessibility by enabling deaf or hard of hearing viewers to read spoken words on screen. Aside from creating an improved experience for those who are hard of hearing, you can also reach a larger audience with video captions.

To help video creators get the most out of their content, Rev offers accurate, fast video closed caption services.

Just want to give @rev a shout out for the work they did on two of my short films. They got them captioned ASAP and the turnaround was just 2 hours! Amazing service. I'm keeping these guys on my radar for future work.

@rev I've now used your captioning services for the last 2 videos I've published to my YouTube channel. Needless to say, I am very impressed with everything. Accuracy, cost, and promptness. I will be using #Rev for every video I publish from here on out. #youtube
