Captions and accessibility
Teams that must make video and audio accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.
The problem
Manual captioning is slow and expensive, so it gets skipped and the content stays inaccessible.
- Published video has no captions, so part of the audience is excluded outright
- Manual captioning is quoted per minute and quietly drops off the budget
- Audio-only content has no text alternative at all
What changes
Accurate subtitles in standard formats for every piece of video you publish.
- Captions on everything you publish
- Standard SRT and VTT for any player
- Transcripts as an accessible alternative to audio
What matters here
Review before publishing
Automatic captions need a human pass to meet accessibility standards. Budget a few minutes per video.
Standard formats
SRT, VTT, and ASS work with YouTube, Vimeo, and every major player.
Burn-in option
For platforms that ignore caption files, export the video with subtitles rendered in.
Accessibility: common questions
Do automatic captions meet WCAG?
Not without review. WCAG expects accurate captions, and automatic output needs a human pass — plan a few minutes per video. Anyone claiming automatic captions are compliant out of the box is selling you a compliance risk.
Which caption formats do you produce?
SRT, VTT, and ASS, which cover YouTube, Vimeo, and every major player. For platforms that ignore caption files, export the video with subtitles burned in.
What about a text alternative for audio-only content?
The full transcript serves as the alternative, and it is exportable as Word, PDF, or plain text for publishing alongside the audio.
