Why Global Riss
Auto-generated captions alone frequently misfire on names, jargon, and overlapping speech. Human review catches what automated captioning tends to miss, so the finished captions actually match what's being said.
Informed by recognized standards
Written with WCAG guidance in mind
Web accessibility guidance (WCAG Success Criterion 1.2.2) calls for captions to include not just dialogue but speaker identification and meaningful sound effects — the bar we write to, rather than dialogue-only auto-captions.
Frequently asked questions
What caption formats do you deliver?
Common formats include SRT and VTT. Let us know if your platform requires a specific format.
Do captions include speaker labels?
Yes, when relevant — we can include speaker identification and sound descriptions where needed.
Can you caption in a language different from the video's audio?
Yes — this is handled as a combined captioning and translation project. Let us know your target language.
Do you follow accessibility standards?
Yes — captions are formatted with accessibility guidelines in mind, including readable timing and clear speaker attribution.
Can captions be burned directly into the video?
We deliver standard caption files by default; burned-in captions can be discussed as part of your project scope.
Do you caption sound effects and music cues, not just speech?
Yes, where relevant to understanding the content — let us know if this matters for your project.
