FAQs
While you can always get in touch with us to ask any questions about our services, we've answered some of your most frequently asked questions below.
What are Automated Captions? Won't I get my own transcriber?
Our transcription service is carried out by our skilled team. We know that only the personal touch is capable of giving you the accuracy you need. The automated component applies only to how the transcript is matched to the action on screen.
Can't I just use YouTube's automated subtitle generator?
YouTube Studio does use an automated Speech to Text tool to generate subtitles. However, its lack of accuracy can diminish the impact of your message.
Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) achieves best-case accuracy of 85% with most falling significantly short of this.Â
However, if you prefer, we can supply you with a raw transcript which Youtube can convert into an SRT file by running its own alignment process.Â
I have an important deadline coming up, how quickly can you get my captions ready?
We have flexible turnarounds to suit your needs and budget with 12 hour, 24 hour, 48 hour and 7-day options available.Â
