Audio & Video
Accessibility of audio and video content is a required feature for any organization in the modern marketplace. Entertainment, educational, and professional content is increasingly delivered via video, and accessibility features like captions and video description are not only vital for deaf and/or blind audience members, but are also beneficial to non-native speakers and visual learners.
SeeWriteHear’s team of video description writers and closed captioning specialists has extensive experience in both educational and dramatic content.
We provide compelling narration that conveys visual imagery and also accurately describes technical content like math equations and graphs.
Our Audio/Video Services
Closed Captioning
Standard closed-captioning services have provided equal access for deaf viewers for decades. Our captioning process blends automation with highly skilled human guidance, ensuring accuracy and fidelity, especially for complex STEM content and higher education materials.
Video Description
Video Description is often overlooked when creating an accessible video; however, its importance should not be forgotten. Good video descriptions are essential for blind and visually impaired users (BVI) to experience the details of key elements of setting, giving the user, through narration, the same experience as a non-disabled person.
Data CD
Electronic (e-text) is a great alternative to a printed document for those individuals preferring information that can be accessed on a computer for maximum enlargement and adjustment options. Delivery via storage media such as CD can be created in any preferred format, the most common being TXT, PDF, HTML, and Word. This is also an alternative for blind readers using a screen reader or a refreshable electronic braille display. In addition to the convenience of the electronic media itself, it can also be a less expensive delivery alternative, especially for large documents having much larger page counts.
Our technology team helped design the online accessibility guidelines that are now industry standards, and we have maintained our expertise in creating accessible electronic versions of documents, books, video, and other media.
Audio CD
Automated speech synthesis or human-voiced audio conversion takes your text from documents to MP3 file format on a disc to eliminate print reading challenges.
Our recording facilities produce many hours of audio conversion a day and are equipped to furnish materials to recipients nationwide in the same time frame as they would expect to receive conventional mailings. Workflow from submission to final product is smooth and efficient. We look forward to helping you satisfy all of your audio conversion needs.
