Captions and Transcreation Services

Make your multimedia content accessible and culturally relevant:

  • Create closed and open captions for videos.

  • Adapt creative content like advertisements to local cultures while maintaining its original essence.

Both captions and transcreation play a crucial role in global communication, helping brands, media, and businesses reach a wider audience while maintaining clarity and cultural relevance.

1. Captions Services

Captions provide text versions of spoken content in videos, making them accessible to a broader audience.

Types of Captions:

🎬 Closed Captions (CC) – Viewers can turn them on or off. They include dialogue and non-verbal sounds like [laughter] or [music].
🎬 Open Captions – Permanently embedded in the video and cannot be turned off.
🎬 Live Captions – Generated in real-time for live broadcasts, meetings, and events.
🎬 SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing) – Includes environmental sounds and speaker identification for accessibility.

Benefits of Captions:

βœ” Accessibility – Helps people with hearing impairments understand video content.
βœ” SEO & Engagement – Improves search rankings and increases video engagement.
βœ” Multilingual Reach – Enables content consumption in multiple languages.
βœ” Better Retention – Viewers remember content better when reading along.

2. Transcreation Services

Transcreation is more than just translationβ€”it adapts content culturally and creatively for a new audience while maintaining its original intent, tone, and emotional impact.

How Transcreation Works?

πŸ”Ή Translation – Converts text from one language to another.
πŸ”Ή Localization – Adapts the content to fit cultural nuances and preferences.
πŸ”Ή Creative Rewriting – Ensures the message resonates with the target audience emotionally.

When is Transcreation Needed?

πŸ“ Marketing & Advertising – Taglines, slogans, and brand campaigns.
πŸ“ Website & Digital Content – Adjusting UX, product descriptions, and messaging for global markets.
πŸ“ Entertainment & Media – Adapting humor, references, and cultural themes.
πŸ“ E-learning & Training – Customizing materials for different regions.

Examples of Transcreation in Action:

βœ… A brand’s tagline, β€œJust Do It”, may be adapted creatively in another language rather than translated word-for-word.
βœ… A humorous ad campaign may need a new script in another language to be culturally relevant.

Benefits of Transcreation:

βœ” Maintains Brand Voice – Ensures consistency in global campaigns.
βœ” Cultural Sensitivity – Avoids misinterpretation or offense.
βœ” Higher Engagement – Messages resonate more effectively with local audiences.
