Definition of Closed Captioning Service

Need captions that support FCC or ADA requirements for broadcast, streaming, or online video? Here is what closed captioning includes, what it costs, and how fast it delivers.

Closed captioning adds time-synchronized text to video content, including spoken dialogue, speaker identification, sound effects, and music cues. Viewers can turn captions on or off based on their accessibility needs or viewing preferences.

Closed captions help broadcasters, businesses, educators, and content creators make videos more accessible for deaf and hard of hearing audiences while supporting FCC and ADA accessibility requirements. If you have any questions or need assistance, call us at 1-800-230-7918.

Human captions, produced to meet the FCC's caption quality standards and support ADA requirements

Closed Captions vs Subtitles vs SDH


Type Purpose Content included
Closed Captions Accessibility Dialogue, speaker identification, sound effects, and audio cues
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

When you upload a file to Vimeo, choose the Captions type for closed captions and subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH), and the Subtitles type for translated dialogue.

Captioner reliably uses Vimeo captioning to create interactive captions, enhancing global viewer engagement effectively.

Impeccable Vimeo Captioning Services You Can Rely On

Vimeo hosts video for businesses, schools and creators, and it lets you upload your own caption files for every video. Captions also matter for viewers who watch with the sound off: Vimeo's marketing blog cites Facebook research finding that captioning videos increases their view time by 12%.

With digitalization and the consumption of video content growing extensively around the world, many brands and professionals use videos to communicate their message to their target consumers. This makes Vimeo captioning services an important tool for its reach.

We deliver interactive captions that enhance viewer engagement, support multiple media formats, and provide editable files for seamless future updates to your Vimeo content.

Our captioning experts also provide specialized support for e-learning captioning, helping educators make their Vimeo-based learning modules accessible to diverse students globally.

Many people who watch Vimeo videos are deaf or hard of hearing, and many others watch with the sound off. Without captions, they miss the dialogue and the sounds that carry the story.

Here is where you can use closed captioning services for Vimeo content to make the content accessible and engaging for people around the world.

Contact our team for confidential and secure closed & open captioning services for your videos on Vimeo. Pricing starts at $1/min for English captions & $7/min for captions in other languages. Contact us at 1-800-230-7918 to receive your free quote. We offer special bulk-order discounts for customers who upload multiple Vimeo videos or large-volume captioning projects.

Before delivery, every file is checked against Vimeo's upload requirements: SRT or WebVTT, encoded in UTF-8 so special characters display correctly in Vimeo's player.

Vimeo's automatic captions or human captions: which should you use?


Use Vimeo's automatic captions as a draft for informal videos you will review yourself, and choose human captions when names, terminology, speaker labels and sound descriptions have to be right, or when the video must meet an accessibility policy.

Method Typical accuracy Names, terms and speaker labels Turnaround Starting price Best for
Vimeo automatic captions (built-in speech recognition) 85–90%, typical for automatic captions, depending on the audio Names and jargon need manual edits; speaker labels are not added automatically Generated after upload Included with eligible Vimeo plans Drafts and informal clips you will check yourself
Vanan human captions (100% human captioners) 99+% Verified in context, with speaker labels and sound descriptions 2 to 3 business days; Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours From $1/min for English, $7/min for other languages Published, client, training and accessibility-reviewed videos

Automatic captions are a fair starting point for a short internal clip if someone on your team checks them line by line. For videos you publish, sell or may need to show in an accessibility review, human captions remove that editing work and catch what speech recognition misses in names, accents and overlapping speech. If you already have Vimeo's automatic captions, we can correct and re-time that file instead of starting over.

Top Reasons to Use Vimeo Video Captioning Services

Captions play a key role in enhancing the accessibility and reach of your videos on the Vimeo platform. When you work with a professional captioning organization like us, you can get the following benefits through our Vimeo captioning services:

list arrow Boosts the Viewing Experience: Every video customer requires a pleasant viewing experience to understand the audio in the video content and stay engaged for longer periods. Adding captions to Vimeo files can spike their interest in searching, downloading, and viewing your videos. Captions are equally beneficial on other platforms like Netflix and Amazon, where accessibility plays a major role in content consumption.
list arrow Makes Video Watchable In All Environments: With today's fast-paced lifestyle, people enjoy watching video content at the office, in traffic, on the road, while traveling, commuting to work, and in any other unusual setting. Closed captions on Vimeo help them to mute the content at these places and just read the captions to understand the video better.
list arrow Makes Your Content Easily Discoverable: Nobody wants to spend more than a few minutes looking for a video on Vimeo. Closed captions can actually enhance your video search quality on search engines and improve overall video captioning. The transcript can make your content easily discoverable with the help of keywords on Google and other platforms.
list arrow Helps Enjoy Even Videos with Poor Audio Quality: Most video content may have been shot in noisy environments with subpar equipment. Subtitles and captions give users access to dialogues and background noises as written text in the same or a different dialect. Our team specializes in corporate video captioning, ensuring your business communications are clear and accessible to all viewers.

Our team delivers captions to a 99+% accuracy standard, in the file format your platform needs. For burned-in captions, we can match the font, size and position to your brand.

Our professionals are available 24/7 to help you get on-time delivery of captions for all your projects. They provide a quick turnaround time to meet your deadlines. You can use our rush delivery services for urgent needs.

Uploaded SRT and WebVTT files are displayed in the style of Vimeo's own player, so caption styling applies to burned-in captions. We also extend multilingual captioning support in Russian, French, and Spanish to help you effectively reach and engage global audiences without compromising accuracy or timing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We deliver SRT and WebVTT files, the two formats Vimeo accepts for caption uploads, encoded in UTF-8 so accented and non-Latin characters display correctly. If you also publish the video elsewhere, other formats can be exported from the same timed file.


Vimeo accepts both and recommends WebVTT. If your workflow already runs on SRT, we can deliver SRT instead. Tell us which one you need and we deliver that format, or both.


Choose Captions for closed captions and SDH files, which carry speaker labels and sound descriptions for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing. Choose Subtitles for a translated track that carries the dialogue only. One video can hold several tracks, one for each language and type.


Usually the track is uploaded but switched off: open the video's Languages menu and turn it on. If the characters look garbled, the file was not saved in UTF-8. If the captions run early or late, the file was timed to a different edit of the video; send us the final cut and we re-time it.


Captions let viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing follow the video, help everyone who watches with the sound off, and make the spoken content searchable. For agencies and filmmakers, a caption file is also part of a finished client deliverable.


Human captions are prepared to support ADA, Section 508 and WCAG caption requirements. Before delivery, each file is reviewed on the four caption quality points accessibility reviewers use: the words are right, in sync, complete and placed clear of on-screen text. Whether a video meets a particular law also depends on who publishes it and where.


Yes. Agencies and filmmakers use us for client deliverables, with captions matched to each project's style and files packaged per project, so your team can pass them straight to the end client.


A human editor and a senior reviewer check every file. Names, brands and technical terms are verified in context rather than spelled by ear, which is where automatic captions most often go wrong.


Standard delivery is 2 to 3 business days. Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours is available; file length, language and audio quality set the exact time, and shorter projects can be delivered the same day on request. Batches are scheduled around your publishing calendar.


Yes. We caption in 100+ languages and create translated subtitle tracks that sit beside your English captions in Vimeo's player. Each translation is timed against the original captions, so every language stays in sync with the same video.


Yes. We correct and re-time captions produced by Vimeo's automatic tool or another service. Send a sample first: we review the existing file and quote the corrections it needs before you commit.


Yes, once the recording is available. We caption recorded video only: uploaded videos, recorded webinars and event replays. We do not provide live or real-time captioning during a broadcast.


Share the Vimeo link or upload the video, and tell us the language and the file format you need. You approve a quote confirmed in writing, and the caption files come back ready for Vimeo's Languages menu. Orders are accepted 24/7.


Vanan Services provides human Vimeo captioning services to a 99+% accuracy standard, starting at $1/min for English and $7/min for other languages. We also caption YouTube videos and video for other platforms.


Captions are expected on published films and short films, academic and corporate training videos, advertisements, and any video covered by an accessibility policy. Whether a video is legally required to carry captions depends on who publishes it and where.


Vimeo captioning starts at $1/min for English captions and $7/min for captions in other languages. Burned-in captions start at $5/min and caption translation at $11.20/min. The final price depends on the video's length, the number of speakers and the audio, and your quote confirms it before work starts.
