Professional Closed Captions for Accessibility Compliance

Need ADA-compliant closed captions for legal, educational, or corporate videos? Our AI generator creates professional CC that meets Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards. Unlike basic subtitles, true closed captions include speaker identification, sound effect descriptions, and music notation-critical for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. Perfect for government training videos, university lectures, corporate HR content, legal depositions, medical training, and public service announcements. Our generator automatically detects speakers, identifies background sounds, and formats captions according to FCC guidelines. Export as SCC, MCC, SRT, or WebVTT formats compatible with broadcast television, YouTube, Vimeo, and learning management systems. Detailed accessibility reports show compliance scores and suggest improvements. Free plan supports videos up to 10 minutes-test compliance before purchasing bulk services.
