Multilingual Captioning
Human captioners across 100+ languages
Need captions for an online course, a training module or a recorded lecture? Here is what e-learning captioning includes, what it costs and how fast it is delivered.
E-learning captioning is timed text of everything said and heard in a course video, including dialogue, speaker names and relevant sounds. It is delivered as a caption file that learners switch on or off in the course player, or burned into the video as open captions.
Captions give deaf and hard of hearing learners the same access to a lesson as everyone else, and help any learner follow technical terms, accents or a video watched without sound. Our human captioners transcribe, time and review every line before delivery. Questions? Call 1-800-230-7918.
Closed Captions vs Subtitles vs SDH
| Type | Purpose | Content included |
|---|---|---|
| Closed Captions | Accessibility | Dialogue, speaker identification, sound effects and music descriptions |
| Open Captions | Viewing where captions can't be switched on | The same text as closed captions, burned into the video so it is always on screen |
| Subtitles | Language translation | Translated dialogue without accessibility sound cues (subtitling services) |
| SDH Captions | Accessibility for deaf and hard of hearing viewers | Dialogue, speaker identification, sound effects and music descriptions (also offered as SDH subtitling) |
For a course in a learning platform such as Canvas, choose closed captions, which learners switch on or off; choose open captions for clips posted where captions cannot be switched on, such as social media. A caption file is timed to the video, while a transcript is a separate text document of the same speech, available through our academic transcription services.
E-learning Captioning Services for Interactive Online Education
Online learning keeps expanding, and students expect every detail to be accessible. From higher education programs to specialized courses, captions play a huge role in making lessons clear for everyone. Deaf and hard of hearing learners, and learners with learning disabilities, depend on them to fully engage and succeed. Vanan Services ensures every learner has equal access to knowledge, no matter their challenges.
Our captioners bring subject knowledge to every course and deliver accurate, time-synchronized captions. Every caption is timed to the spoken word and checked line by line before delivery, which keeps learners focused on the lesson.
Closed captioning services help ensure that all learners, regardless of their abilities, can fully access educational content.
Pricing starts at $1.00/min for English captions and $5.00/min for other languages. Volume pricing applies from 60+ minutes, with special rates for education, non-profit and healthcare clients. To get started, call 1-800-230-7918 .
When learners need translated text rather than same-language captions, we also offer subtitling in German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and French, so global learners can follow your lessons.

-
Online courses and lectures - Training modules and workshops
- Recorded webinars and class sessions

Human or Automated Captions: Which Do Online Courses Need?
Courses that learners rely on for access, or that use technical terms, are better served by human captions: automated captions typically reach 85–90% accuracy, with results varying by audio quality and speaker, while our 100% human captioners deliver 99+% accuracy on clear audio.
| Method | Typical Accuracy | Technical Course Terms | Turnaround | Starting Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Automated captions | 85–90% | Often misheard; every term needs checking | Minutes after upload | Lower; varies by tool | Internal drafts and searchable notes |
| Human captions (Vanan) | 99+% on clear audio | Checked in context, with your glossary | 2–3 business days. Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours | From $1.00/min (English), $5.00/min (other languages) | Published courses, accessibility needs, technical subjects |
Automated captions can be enough for an internal recording that no one depends on for access. For a published course, an accessibility accommodation or a subject full of technical terms, human captions are the safer choice, because automated captions need line-by-line correction to reach the same accuracy.
Are Captions Required for Online Courses?
Often, yes, depending on who publishes the course: public colleges and universities and federal agencies have specific accessibility obligations, and many other course providers caption video under their own policies or the rules that apply to them. Captions help prerecorded video meet applicable accessibility requirements for deaf and hard of hearing learners.
-
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG): published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), WCAG Success Criterion 1.2.2 calls for captions on all prerecorded audio in synchronized media, at Level A.
-
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title II: covers state and local governments, including public colleges and universities. The Department of Justice web rule, summarized on ADA.gov, sets WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the standard for their web content and mobile apps. Check ADA.gov for the current compliance dates.
-
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act: applies to federal agencies and the technology they develop, buy or use, and incorporates WCAG 2.0 Level AA, which includes captions for prerecorded video. Section508.gov explains the caption requirements.
Our captions are produced to help institutions meet these requirements, with accurate text, synchronized timing, speaker identification and sound descriptions. Your accessibility office or legal counsel decides what your courses must provide.
Boost Corporate Training Outcomes with Professional E-learning Captioning Services
Corporate training is more than sharing videos. It’s about making sure every employee fully understands and retains the lessons. E-learning captioning services make training accessible, engaging, and effective for everyone, so no one misses a key point. Learners can follow along comfortably, improving comprehension and knowledge retention. Our captioners ensure every employee experiences clear and understandable content.
When training is delivered as video, captions help employees follow the content, including deaf and hard of hearing staff and anyone watching without sound. Our captioners match technical and policy terms to your glossary, so compliance and product training reads correctly. We also caption corporate videos outside your LMS, our lecture captioning services cover recorded classes for academic institutions, and if a module needs translating rather than captioning, see our training module translation.
Types of Corporate Training Materials We Caption
- Employee onboarding videos
- Compliance and policy training
- Product and service tutorials
- Soft skills and leadership courses
- Safety and emergency procedures
- Annual performance review, and more.

We also provide post production captioning services to enhance the final video content for global audiences. If the course itself needs translating, see our e-learning translation services, and for narration in another language, our e-learning voice-over services.

How to Find Us?
Frequently Asked Questions
Our captions are produced to help organizations meet the Section 508, ADA and WCAG requirements that apply to their online courses. Each file is checked on the four points accessibility reviewers look at: accuracy, synchronization, completeness and placement, with readable line breaks, a reading speed of 17–20 characters per second, and speaker identification and sound descriptions where needed.
Yes. We deliver SRT, WebVTT and other formats prepared for Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Articulate Storyline and most video platforms used in e-learning. Files use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding so special characters display correctly, and several formats can be exported from one timed master.
Yes. We caption full module libraries in batches with consistent terminology and style across every lesson. Volume pricing applies from 60+ minutes, with special rates for education, non-profit and healthcare clients. Large batches keep one style standard and one point of contact, so the last file matches the first.
Captioners are matched to the subject, so medical, engineering, software and compliance terms are captured correctly, with a review step for 99+% accuracy. You can share a glossary of product names, acronyms and preferred spellings, or a style guide for numbers and speaker labels, and we apply it across every lesson and later update. Names and technical terms are verified in context rather than spelled phonetically, which is where automated captions most often fail.
Yes. We translate captions into 100+ languages, from $11.20/min, using linguists assigned by language, so one course master serves learners worldwide. Translations are timed against the original captions, so every language version stays in sync with the same master.
Talking-head lectures, screencasts, software demos, animated explainers and interactive video lessons are all supported. One order can mix content types, and unusual formats are welcome: send a short sample and we confirm fit before you commit.
Yes. We caption recorded lectures, class sessions and webinars from Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or your learning platform once the session has ended, and return caption files ready to upload with the recording.
Yes. On request we produce SDH-style captions with speaker identification and relevant sound descriptions. Labels and cues like [door slams] or [tense music] let viewers follow who is speaking and what is happening beyond the dialogue.
Captioning is priced per minute of video with discounts for course libraries. Quotes are itemized per module, so you can see the cost of each lesson and phase the rollout if budgets require. Send your runtime for a free quote.
Yes. Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours is available at 50% above the base rate, and same-day delivery is possible for shorter projects on request. Series and course batches can be scheduled to land together on one launch date, before enrollment opens.
Share files, links or a learning platform export, and we return caption files ready to upload alongside each video. No lengthy setup is needed: send the file, approve the quote, and work begins, any hour of the day.
We follow caption best practices on every file: readable line length, a reading speed of 17–20 characters per second, clear line breaks, speaker identification and relevant sound effects where needed, and captions timed to the spoken word and checked line by line before delivery.
