Captioningstar provides excellent transcription tools for film documentaries.
It’s online system streamlines the process of obtaining accurate and timecoded interview transcripts that are critical to the story editing process.
Salvatore Salvia
Great final deliverable and great communication. We needed VTT files created from transcripts and their team did a wonderful job. We got a sample file early on to test and they delivered the full file set earlier than expected. I’d definitely recommend Captioning Star.
