High Quality Captions at a Low Price

3Play Media is the best option for your captioning needs.  We have a robust captioning platform to provide increased flexibility while maintaining industry low prices. 

Quality Assurance
Yes, we have some pretty cool technology, but we also guarantee that a human will look at every word of your caption file to ensure the highest level of quality.  Machines can't quite do everything!

Content Management 
Got a big media library?  Don't worry, that's our specialty.  Simplify the process with the 3Play Content Management System.  We make everything from uploading to project management easier.  You can even make edits to text and watch your final transcript and closed caption files update seconds later!

Formatting
You choose what you want your video to look like.  Font sizes and colors, as well as the location and size of the captions can be customized to your specifications.

Supported Output Formats
We support a variety of web-based captioning formats including those for the following media players: QuickTime, Real Player, Windows Media Player, YouTube, Google Video, iTunes, and Flash.  The standard captioning rates get you access to as many of these standard formats as you need for no additional charge.
 

Why Caption?

Accessibility 
More than 28 million people in the US are deaf or hard of hearing.  Captions offer an easy to use tool to follow multimedia content.

Educational Tools 
Online education is greatly improved with text aids.  Captions have been shown to improve the online learning experience and overall retention of material. 

Non-English Speakers 
The internet allows people in other countries to tune into your content.  This makes for a large group of users who can use captions to help them understand video content better.

Search
Video search and search engine optimization become far more robust with full text indexing, rather than just subject-based tagging.

Regulatory Compliance
Regulatory compliance is an issue that may be closer than you think!  Section 508 of the American Disabilities Act already requires some content to be accessible for users who are hearing impaired.  The "Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2009 (HR-3101)" is currently in Congress to expand such regulation to require that all electronic devices, from PCs to iPods, support captions.
