Closed Captioning Services Built for Zero-Error Work
Your Audience Is Watching. Can They Understand Every Word?
The majority of social media videos are consumed without sound. If your content has no captions-or bad captions-you have already lost them. OnlyCaption puts trained human editors between your brand and that risk.
What's Included in Our Closed Captioning Services for Video
Every project includes the full package - not a stripped-down version with premium add-ons for the basics. Here is what you get.
Human-reviewed captions - trained reviewers, not unedited AI output
99%+ captioning accuracy - including accents, jargon & multi-speaker content
SRT file captioning, VTT, SCC, TTML, STL, and MCC format delivery
Speaker identification labels - essential for interviews, panels, and depositions
Non-speech audio notation - [applause], [music fades], [silence]
Verbatim or clean-read captioning - your choice based on content type
Platform-formatted captions - optimized for YouTube, Vimeo, LinkedIn, Zoom, Netflix & broadcast
ADA compliant caption files with compliance documentation on request
Standard, next-day & same-day rush turnaround options
Revision rounds included - accuracy is guaranteed, not approximated
The Gap Between 90% and 99.9% Is Not 9%. It Is a Lawsuit.
AI captioning tools are fast. They are also the starting point-not the finish line. Here is why expert oversight matters.
The Math
A 30-minute corporate video contains roughly
4,500
words
The Context
"euthanasia" → "youth in Asia"
"Supreme Court" → "supreme cord"
Context, names, and tone require human judgement.
That is not a minor inconvenience. That is 450 opportunities for your brand to look careless, your legal team to panic, or your deaf audience to miss critical information.
At OnlyCaption, technology handles the first pass. Our trained editors handle the rest-reviewing, correcting, and verifying every line until the final file reaches 99.9% accuracy.
Technology speeds up the first pass. Expert oversight makes it accurate.
From Your File to a Finished Caption: What Actually Happens.
You Send Us the Content.
Upload your video file, paste a link, or connect your cloud storage. We accept everything from a raw iPhone recording to a 4K ProRes master.
We Assign a Specialist, Not a Queue.
Your file is reviewed by our intake team. Based on the subject matter (legal, medical, entertainment, education), we assign an editor with direct experience in that field.
The Editor Watches. Then Watches Again.
Our editors do not type while listening. They watch the full video first to understand context, tone, and speaker dynamics. Then they begin the caption process on the second pass.
A Second Set of Eyes Reviews Everything.
Before delivery, a separate quality auditor checks the file against the original video. They verify spelling, timing, formatting, and compliance markers.
You Get the File. We Stay Available.
We deliver the caption file in your requested format. If you need a revision-a name was updated, a segment was re-edited-we handle it within 24 hours at no extra charge.

Built for Teams Where Getting It Wrong Is Not an Option.
The University That Got a Compliance Letter.
Your Disability Services office just told you that 2,000 lecture recordings need captions by the end of the semester. You need a vendor who can handle volume without sacrificing accuracy. Our closed captioning for universities meets ADA compliant video captions and WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
The Production House With a Streaming Deadline.
Netflix requires caption files 72 hours before the title goes live. Your post-production team does not have bandwidth to caption 8 episodes in-house. You need a partner who already knows the delivery spec.
The Law Firm Preparing a Deposition.
Closed captioning for legal depositions demands verbatim accuracy, precise speaker identification, and strict confidentiality. We assign legal-experienced captioners who understand why every word matters - and we sign NDAs as standard.
The Healthcare Organization Under HIPAA Requirements.
Medical training videos, patient education content, and internal compliance recordings require HIPAA compliant captioning workflows. We handle sensitive content with secure file transfer, NDA-backed teams, and permanent deletion after delivery.
The Corporate Comms Team Recording a Town Hall.
Your CEO just addressed 5,000 employees. The recording needs to go on the intranet by tomorrow morning-with captions that spell every executive's name correctly.
The Government Agency Under Public Scrutiny.
Your city council meetings are livestreamed and archived. A citizen complaint about inaccessible video could trigger a federal investigation. You need captions that hold up under audit.
Straight Answers to Common Questions.
Stop Guessing. Start Captioning.
Every hour your video sits without accurate captions, you are losing viewers, risking compliance, and leaving search traffic on the table.
