Human Live Captions

Live captions are essential for making spoken content accessible in real time. At Line 21, we specialise in providing verbatim live captions through the expertise of our human professionals, ensuring accuracy and speed to keep content accessible and inclusive.

Live captions in real-time are vital, not only for deaf or hard of hearing individuals, but also as translation tools, comprehension aids and ensuring universal accessibility.

Human Captions

Our verbatim captioners are accredited professionals, highly skilled in using specialised software to transcribe speech in real time. Their training and experience enable them to enhance accessibility by live captioning every spoken word with speed and precision. This is what makes human live captioning ideal for high-stakes environments like live broadcasts, conferences, and legal proceedings. You can be confident all of our captioners are registered and accredited professionals, bound by professional code of conduct in their country of residence.

How do they caption?

Traditional captioners provide live captions via stenography machines - typing up to 350 words per minute on specialised machines. These captioners are often re-skilled court reporters, who excel at verbatim live transcription and accuracy in a controlled environment, to preserve an official record. Newer captioning systems have also been developed to use voice recognition software to generate live captions, called respeaking. This method combines human understanding with technological efficiency, ensuring accurate and swift transcriptions.
