If @rev ever needs a raving testimonial, let me know. Captioning is a nightmare and it took 17min and $3 for them to do it. Incredible.

Just want to give @rev a shout out for the work they did on two of my short films. They got them captioned ASAP and the turnaround was just 2 hours! Amazing service. I'm keeping these guys on my radar for future work.

How do you define English subtitle and quality?

We use the definition provided by the national Described and Captioned Media Program. Quality captioning is:

Consistent - Uniformity in style and presentation of all captioning features is crucial for viewer understanding.
Clear - A complete textual representation of the audio, including speaker identification and "atmospherics" (non-speech information), provide clarity.
Readable - subtitles are displayed with enough time to be read completely and are in synchronization with the audio.
Equal - equal access requires that the meaning and intention of the material is completely preserved.

We guarantee at least 99% accuracy for files that are clearly audible.
