3 Reasons to Hire a Captioning Service

In-house captioning has always been a challenge for organizations due to the high cost of software and equipment required; not to mention the specialized training needed to run the system. In recent years, however, the developments in closed captioning and the availability of affordable captioning services have made it possible for business owners to create accurate captions in a much quicker and efficient way.

If you often need captioning for your business needs, here is why hiring a captioning service is a more appropriate option than doing the job in-house.

1.     Difference in Cost

Hiring an in-house team for captioning brings several financial challenges. Companies with an in-house staff needs dedicated budget to acquire and maintain the team. This may include cost of salaries, insurance, benefits, and regular training to equip your employees with updated knowledge and skills to handle more challenging captioning jobs.

Besides this, if the company is intending to expand its operations into new markets, the requirement for space, hardware, software, and other necessary tools may increase in direct proportion which could increase the financial burden on the company.

On the other hand, hiring a professional captioning service may only require you to pay a flat fee for a wide range of services. Not only can it help you avoid numerous expenses, but also allow you to access a large pool of experts without exceeding your budget.

2.     Knowledge and Expertise

Caption service providers have a team of highly knowledgeable and skilled professionals, which enables them to deliver the optimal quality of output at a much faster speed. What’s more, professional CART interpreters are also well-versed with cultural, religious, ethnic, and semantic differences across various business settings which help them pick up the subtleties to give the content the same feel and tone, while converting it into a written format.

3.     Efficiency of Services

Companies working with internal teams often find it difficult to scale up their department as their businesses expand. With limited resources, in-house captioning teams become prone to costly mistakes, which may not just put your reputation at stake, but may also result in lost sales.

However, working with a professional CART interpreter is much more practical and less risky, especially in high-stake business projects. The quicker access to accurate and reliable information may also expedite your decisions, thus giving you an edge over your competitors.
