ALPHA CAPTION

When Every Word Counts

"Alpha Caption has provided captioning services for The Hal Lindsey Report since its inception in 2006. Faced with an inflexible rush schedule each week, Alpha has not only provided the captioning, but more than 1500 air dubs delivered to multiple outlets nation wide without one single failure. Not only is Alpha's work spot on and dependable, all of the principals are flexible and eager to assist in any way possible. I really get the feeling that they care more about my product and schedule than some of the people who work on the show! If there were a rating higher than A+, AAA, Five Diamond, or Five Star, I'd give it to Alpha Caption."

Tapeless / NLE Captioning

- No Additional Hardware
- No Additional Generational Loss
- No Shipping
- No Additional Cost to You

With NLE captioning, you simply forward a low resolution reference version of your project to us via FTP. We use the reference file to caption the project and output a video file containing only the closed caption data. The file containing the caption data is then sent to you to be imported into your NLE system. When you output your video to tape, it will include all of the closed captioned data ready for broadcast. YOU are in control of your project. In the end, you have a closed captioned master with absolutely NO generational loss with the added ability to output as many copies as you wish.

Pop-on Captions

Captions pop onto the screen in block format and, at your request, are carefully placed so as to not interfere with graphics, screen text, etc. Captions are meticulously matched to the spoken word, and descriptive text is inserted to enhance the experience of the deaf and hard of hearing. Studies have consistently shown the pop-on style closed captioning is preferred.

$8 - $12 per video minute ($100 minimum)

Roll-up Captions

This style is primarily used in a single speaker situation. Captions roll onto the screen one line at a time, typically two or three lines in depth. Captions are meticulously matched to the spoken word and, at your request, are carefully places so as to not interfere with graphics, screen text, etc.

$7 - $10 per video minute ($100 minimum)
