Welcome to Custom Captions!

Your premier provider
of a full range of post-production closed captioning services
for video production and broadcast media.

Paying too much for closed captioning?

Is $6 per minute a good price? Is $8? How about $10? $15? $20?
It all depends on what you actually get!
What extra charges are you paying for? 
Minimum amounts?
Set-up fees?
Tape charges?

At Custom Captions we provide closed captions and subtitles at LOW, easy-to-understand rates. We charge a flat rate-per-minute of video time, which INCLUDES ALL COSTS. Simply multiply our rate by the number of minutes in your video to determine your final cost.

Until now, only the major closed captioning houses have included all services in truly flat-rate fees! (Those rates are in the $30 to $35 range.)

Do you need open or closed captions?

Open captions are always visible. Closed captions are a selected option from TV menus.

Do you captions that “pop-on” or “roll-up”?

Pop-up formatting shows individual captions popping onto the screen and off again, making room for new ones.  Closed captions are placed under the different speakers. 
  
Roll-up captions show individual lines coming onto the screen, then rolling up, making room for new text.  Roll-up captions are typically used for real-time news, sports, and distance-learning educational programs.

Subtitles

Subtitles are placed down the center of the screen.  Sound effects are not identified and speakers are not generally identified.

Do you need to choose
between good quality and low prices?

Your audience will always choose quality, easy-to-read captions.

Your accountant will always choose low prices. With Custom Captions, you can have both!
You can afford great captioning. One in ten (approximately 25 million) Americans are hearing impaired. 25% of American television sets use closed captions daily.

Do you know about Disabled Access Tax Credit?

Small businesses can claim tax credits for making video accessible to deaf and hard of hearing people with captions. The IRS has a Form 8826, the Disabled Access Credit, for this purpose. It can be downloaded on the web at the IRS web site by scrolling down the list of choices until Form 8826 is reached. Click here to download Form 8826.

In the General Instructions, under "Eligible access expenditures," it states:
b. To provide qualified interpreters or other methods of making audio materials available to hearing-impaired individuals.
