Launch of WebCaptioning.com
WebCaptioning.com provides education, government, business organizations, and others a cost-effective solution to comply with mandates such as the FCC's Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and others.
"We are excited to be offering the WebCaptioning solution for post-production caption development. It is the best solution for managing and producing closed-caption files," said Nick Wilkie, CEO, StreamText.Net.
"WebCaptioning.com is the perfect addition to our toolbox when it comes to captioning video. We work with a multiple-language webinar platform that has integrated Streamtext.Net, so we can caption their live events. WebCaptioning.com not only lets us create error-free captioning for their recorded events; it makes it easy to correct errors from our real-time captioning and 'repurpose' those files into flawless captioning for the archive!" commented Tanya Ward English, CEO, Realtime Transcription, Inc.
The WebCaptioning platform provides text alignment with audio and video files, exports multiple captioning file formats, and applies captioning rules to the exported files, thereby improving caption quality and saving hours of editing time. WebCaptioning is unique in that it accepts accurate transcripts, and it also produces automatic speech-recognition transcription, which can be easily edited to ensure accuracy.
"The WebCaptioning workflow makes it possible for transcription and captioning companies to deliver captioning in a highly efficient way, making it perfect for captioning of education, web-based media, and even TV," according to Alex French, CEO and Co-Founder, The Captioning Studio.
