Why Should You Hire a Professional Film Captioning Service?
Are you wondering why to hire a professional film/movie captioning service provider? Captioning videos is compulsory by law in many countries, including the United States. The ADA and FCC are among many agencies monitoring the captioning of videos. Captioning the video helps deaf or individuals with hearing impairments access the video. Research says that one in 20 Americans are deaf or hard of hearing. Now, this is a significant chunk of the American population.
If you are looking for reliable subtitling companies in New York, Vanan Services offers professional solutions tailored to meet your needs. We protect every film with strict NDA agreements, secure encrypted file systems, and authorized-access workflows, ensuring complete confidentiality for unreleased or sensitive content.
Search engines such as Google can crawl through your video due to the captions or transcript that goes along with the video. Interestingly, 80% of the viewers like to watch a video on mute. Now, this number is enormous, and it calls for accurate captions.

Case Study: English to English – Film Captioning Services for a Media Production
Client Information
Client Industry: Media and Entertainment
Location: United States
File Information
File Type & Duration: Video file (.mov), 90 minutes and 12 seconds
Goal
The client, an independent media production entity, required professional captioning services for a 90-minute feature film. The objective was to create accurate, well-timed English SRT captions from the film’s audio, including all dialogues, speaker differentiations, and lyrical content. The caption file needed to align with industry standards and be fully accessible for downstream distribution platforms.
The client provided an accompanying script; however, it was noted that the film diverged in parts from the script. This called for accurate transcription aligned with the spoken content. Additionally, there was a requirement for verbatim captions and proper labeling of speaker identities throughout the video.
Key Challenges
- Poor Audio Clarity in Songs: Several portions involving song lyrics were indistinct or partially inaudible, complicating the transcription of lyrical segments.
- Inconsistencies Between Script and Audio: The provided script had disparities from the actual spoken content, requiring careful verification and updates.
- Multiple Speakers (6–10): The presence of numerous voices demanded precise speaker tagging and differentiation.
- Content Complexity: The video contained mature themes and adult content, necessitating sensitive handling during caption creation.
Speakers & Languages
Speakers: 6 to 10 speakers
Languages Used: English (Source and Target)
Delivery Time
Completed within 6 business days as per the standard turnaround time.
Strategy
The Vanan team employed a multi-phase approach:
- Initial Transcription: A professional transcriber created a verbatim transcript using the film’s audio as the primary reference, noting instances of unclear lyrics as "indistinct."
- Quality Control and Editing: A language specialist was then engaged to enhance and correct the transcript, cross-referencing the official script and the original film.
- Lyric Verification: Due to the inaudible nature of some musical segments, a public lyric database was consulted to fill in missing words where possible.
- Caption Formatting: Once validated, the finalized transcript was time-coded into an SRT file using industry-standard captioning software.
- Proofreading: A final round of proofreading ensured caption synchronization and formatting consistency across the video.
Results
- Comprehensive Accessibility: The film was now accessible to a broader audience, including those with hearing impairments.
- High Caption Accuracy: Despite challenges, the final SRT maintained accuracy above 98%.
- Enhanced Viewer Experience: Speaker labeling and detailed transcription significantly improved comprehension of scenes with overlapping dialogues.
- Client Satisfaction: The client acknowledged the team’s effort in resolving inconsistencies and refining the lyrical content.
