Captioning for Video-Sharing

Think of the reach your website video will have with the addition of subtitling. Low quality audio is made understandable, hearing impaired viewers can enjoy the entire video, and it is significantly more discoverable by search tools.

AST’s CaptionSync delivers high quality captions for video sharing applications such as YouTube and Google Video.

If you need captions for more than one type of media, you can receive multiple captions file formats at no additional charge with your submission. Additionally, our AST-Link application for Windows and Mac allows for uploading large quantities of media files at once.

See our How-To Tutorials on preparing videos for captioning for web-sharing.

CaptionSync can deliver captions and transcripts for video on both YouTube and Google Video. While there are free tools available using speech recognition engines and automated captioning, they offer poor levels of accuracy. You can learn to use tools to correct the transcription errors if you have time, but if accuracy and speed are important, using CaptionSync will give you the results you need. If you are translating your material into a foreign language, an accurate English transcript is important. If you need to caption videos where you are not the content owner, you can use CaptionSync with Overstream.net.
