Also known as offline captioning, post-production captioning is used for programs that have already been created in a media format, such as television series, commercials, DVDs, online videos, and feature-length films. It is the most accurate type of captioning available, reflecting high-quality aesthetics and delivering the maximum level of precision. LNS has industry-standard production software in-house, ensuring that our captions meet the demands of the newest technologies.

As more and more people watch web video content in noisy places – mass transit, airplanes, coffee shops, etc. – people rely on the captions to know what’s being said with the volume turned down. Make sure your captions reflect the quality of your video, even if it’s only 2 minutes long.
LNS can caption your Flash, Windows Media, Quicktime, Real Player, Vimeo or YouTubeTM web videos so you can reach those in the deaf and hard of hearing community and viewers who use captions as a reading literacy tool.
On October 8, 2010, President Obama signed the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) into law. This act requires any television program already aired to be captioned when posted online. LNS can help you comply with this law. Ask us for more information.
Captions and Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Captioning your web videos can also help your website’s search engine optimization (SEO) ranking. Providing transcripts and captions for your web videos allows search engines to pick up on otherwise hidden keywords, thereby directing potential viewers to your website.
