Transcription is the process of converting audio or video content into text format. Transcripts can be presented as a separate document as a text file, word document, PDF, or a web page or shown under the audio or the video file. Transcripts can be translated and presented in multiple languages. Transcription can be generated in two ways:

Verbatim transcription, where the content is transcribed word-for-word, including all the sound effects and voice effects. This mode of transcription is beneficial for scripted content like a TV show or movie.

Clean read transcription, where the text is edited to make the transcription fluent and free-flowing. This type of transcription is most suited for unscripted content like interviews and recorded speeches.

Captions make the content accessible for not just deaf and hard-of-hearing & Transcription is an important accessibility tool for the audio-only source content

What is the difference between captioning and transcription?

Author:Marketing and SalesOct 21, 2021

In media creation and distribution, words like captioning and transcription gained more prominence as video gained popularity. However, there are many questions like, what is the difference between captioning and transcription, and which the content creator and broadcaster should use? Before we answer these questions, let us first understand what captioning and transcription are.

Captioning and Transcription 

Captions are the textual version of the spoken part of a television, movie, or computer presentation. Captions make the videos accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing people. Captions can further be classified as closed captions and open captions.

Open captions are burned in the video, and they cannot be turned off. Open captions are widely used when one doesn’t have control of a closed caption feature. On the other hand, closed captions are created as a sidecar, and they can be turned on or off. Closed captions are represented by the [CC] sign on the video. FCC regulations defined closed captions as the critical link to news, entertainment, and information for individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. Congress requires video programming distributors (VPDs) – cable operators, broadcasters, satellite distributors, and other multi-channel video programming distributors – to caption their TV programs.

Transcripts are, in many ways is similar to captions. Like captions, transcripts provide textual content for a video, but it is presented in a separate document via text file, word document, or PDF. Transcripts can be generated in multiple languages and can also be translated into another language.
