Closed Captioning: Rev.com

For many people, closed captioning is an important element for increasing the accessibility of videos and eLearning modules. It is also a 508 Compliance requirement for deaf or hard of hearing people to access your online video/audio content. Yet, many more people benefit from closed captioning such as people who are ESL (English as a Second Language). Closed captioning also helps all learners with retention. Rev.com's closed captioning service enables you to get more value from your existing video content by appealing to a wider audience.

  1. Upload files, paste URLs, or pull from YouTube or Vimeo. It’s secure and confidential.
