When adding captions to your content, it’s important to understand the key differences between human-reviewed (ADA-compliant) closed captions and AI-generated closed captions.
1. Reviewed Closed Captions (ADA-Compliant):
Reviewed closed captions are created using Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology and experienced human captionists to ensure content complies with accessibility standards issued under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Reviewed closed captions are priced at $1.50 per minute, and Wovenmedia will cover up to $100 per month for these requests. Once you reach this maximum cap, any additional requests will be billed to your account.
2. Autogenerated Closed Captions:
Autogenerated closed captions use AI technology to offer a fast and cost-effective way to add captions to your content. Since they are autogenerated, these captions are not reviewed nor ADA-compliant. Users can validate and edit the closed caption file if needed for files uploaded by the organization (this is not applicable to WovenContent videos).
Autogenerated captions are free to use.
Closed Captions Comparison:
| Key Feature |
Reviewed Closed Captions |
Autogenerated Closed Captions |
| Accuracy |
Human-reviewed captions ensure words, sounds, and context are captured, offering 99% accuracy.
|
Autogenerated captions have a high level of accuracy but may miss complex words, accents, or struggle if there’s background noise.
|
| ADA compliance |
These captions meet ADA regulations, making them suitable for platforms that require legal accessibility standards.
|
Unlike reviewed captions, autogenerated captions do not meet ADA accessibility standards. This makes them more suited for non-regulated content.
|
| Turnaround Time |
Closed captions will typically be available within 60 minutes or less.
