Automatic Sync Technologies’ CaptionSync automated captioning system now delivers line-21 (EIA-608) closed caption post processing output which can be used directly in Avid, Final Cut Pro, Premiere, and other non-linear editors (NLEs).  With a simple print-to-tape, NLE users can now caption NTSC D1 tapestock such as Beta SP, digi-Beta, or DVCPro without a gen-loss, shipping tapes, or any special encoding hardware.  Digital NLE caption post-processing is available immediately on a per-submission basis to AST broadcast users.

CaptionSync is an online service, available 7×24 and delivers high quality captions within minutes. As an online service, there is no software to buy or install, no set-up fees, and no volume commitments.

If you provide the verbatim text transcript associated with your video, you’ll have your NLE caption files 20 minutes later.  If you need AST to have it transcribed, you can have your results in as little as one business day with our rush transcription.

CaptionSync users can select as many caption output formats as they need, choosing from YouTube, Flash, podcasts, Windows Media Player, QuickTime, Real, broadcast line-21 captions, and/or DVD subtitles.  In addition, AST offers transcription only services.
