Harness the global market and make your content accessible to multiple language groups with our translation services for recorded media.
We leverage our cutting-edge technology as well as the skill of our highly-trained captioning professionals to give our customers’ videos accurate, easy-to-read captions.
Our captioning services include the production of closed captions or open captions for any video, easy integration for practically every file type and platform, and 24/7 customer support.
Ai-Media has provided captioning for the world’s top companies and educational institutions for over 10 years – including Facebook, Amazon and the United Nations.
Closed captions appear as text overlaid onto your video and represent the speech, narration and sounds that occur throughout the video. Closed captions give viewers the option of switching the captions on and off. Most major video platforms support closed captions, including YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook. They are also common on broadcast television and streaming media platforms such as Netflix.
Open captions have the same function as closed captions, but instead of being optional, they are ‘burned on’ to the video, so they are always visible to all viewers. Open captions are used where videos are expected to be watched without sound, particularly on social media, where 85% of viewers have sound switched off. Open captions also suit situations in which you are showing a video to a large group and want to guarantee accessibility for everyone.
Ai-Media provides captions in any requested format such as SRT, STL, SCC, XML, SBV, DFXP, SMI, SAMI and WebVTT. We also support special requirements including varied coloring, positioning, and frame rates.
Audio description, also known as described video or video description, makes videos accessible to people who have poor vision, or who are blind.
Audio description is an additional voiceover that narrates all important visual elements of what’s happening on screen and is played during natural pauses in the video’s audio track. Audio description includes descriptions of characters, locations, facial expressions, actions and graphics.
This additional audio track also reads aloud any text on screen, such as speaker names, titles and credits. Audio description ensures everyone has equal access to a wide range of content from TV programs, movies, interviews, events, marketing content and more.
Our audio description service complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and local legislation requirements.
We also offer audio description services for live content such as live news, sport, live theatre and performance. Our live audio description is always delivered by highly trained describers, who can work onsite at your live event or in studio.
A media alternative transcript is a written record of dialogue from a video that also includes written descriptions of what is visually happening onscreen throughout. Media alternative transcripts are often a companion or alternative to audio description.
