The Accessibility and Technology team has identified a service that can provide captioning for videos. They currently charge $162 per content hour ($2.70 per minute) for transcript and caption files and offer over 40 output types.
The way the service works:
You either establish an account with the vendor directly or you work with ITSS and they will use their account with the vendor, and charge back to your department. You provide digital video files to the vendor (either directly or through ITSS) and transcripts if available. The vendor sends back captioned video in your preferred file type. They generally are able to turn around the files in a few working days, although at busy times it will be slower and you can pay a premium for a quicker turnaround.

Departments are welcome to establish their own accounts with this service or they can work with ITSS for help. Contact Mary Olson-Reed or Jason Davis for help, or - create an account with the vendor for yourself by filling out a CaptionSync Account Sign Up Form.
