Open Captioning (OC)
Our open captioning (OC) services are designed to elevate accessibility by embedding captions directly into your video content, following the WCAG guidelines and success criteria 1.2. This approach ensures that viewers who are deaf, hard of hearing, or hearing impaired can fully engage with your media without needing additional settings or tools. Unlike closed captions, which can be toggled on or off, open captions are always visible, and seamlessly integrated into the video to provide a consistent and inclusive viewing experience for all audiences.
The main advantage of open captions is their accessibility and usability in any environment. Since they are hardcoded into the video, open captions are ideal for situations where viewers might not have control over caption settings, such as public screenings or social media platforms. By opting for open captioning, you make your content universally accessible from the outset, ensuring that your message reaches everyone, regardless of their auditory abilities. With our expertise, your videos not only meet accessibility standards but also become more engaging and impactful for all viewers.
