Webcast / Internet Captioning

Currently all English speaking television broadcasts are required to be captioned.  All Spanish broadcasts will need to come under this same 100% rule by January 2010. The government currently requires all government agencies to caption video and electronic communications including webcasts. This requirement is outlined in the Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Webcast captioning typically shows up under the video so your entire video is seen.  MotiVision believes it will not be long before webcasts are eventually going to be mandated as well.

The trend to watch TV on the internet is growing at an ever accelerating pace. This mode is becoming the media of choice for many Americans.  It is estimated most internet viewing is during work hours and consequently watched without sound. Captioning your video for the Internet is a good idea for that reason alone; however, millions of both hearing and hearing impaired viewers currently rely on closed captioning to better understand and enjoy their viewing experience.

We close caption webcasts in the following formats:

  • Flash
  • Windows Media
  • Real
  • QuickTime

Here is how it works:
  1. You either ship the content in a tape format or FTP an encoded video file to us.
  2. If using an encoded video file, then upload an mp3 audio and post it to our FTP site.
  3. You’re done!  We take it from there!

Here’s how:
  1. We create a verbatim transcript
  2. We create the caption file. (Time code, synchronize and condition text)
  3. We perform our double-check quality control process.
  4. We create a caption file for your specific video format.
  5. We then either email or FTP the file back to you for posting.
  6. Your webmaster posts the video file along with the caption file into a single folder on your website so your captions appear.
