Alongside our closed captioning services for the deaf and hard of hearing, we offer low cost BSL interpreting services, translation and video editing services. Adding BSL to your videos can be a great way to make sure you reach out to both deaf and hearing viewers who communicate through British Sign Language. Video accessibility is really important and many TV channels, subscription services and Video on Demand providers offer BSL content to target new audiences and open up their markets.

Our British Sign Language Interpreting Services are:

• High quality
• Low cost
• Fast turnaround
• Fully localised

At Capital Captions, our BSL interpreting services come with a complimentary closed caption file. This helps to ensure that your videos are also accessible to deaf viewers who may not use BSL.

We offer fully comprehensive packages to transcribe, subtitle, translate and add BSL to video content, ensuring full accessibility in terms of your video content. We work with highly qualified, experienced subtitlers, translators and interpreters, providing low cost services with some of the fastest turnaround times in the industry.

Why Add BSL to your Videos?

British Sign Language interpreters online and on television help to make video content accessible to users of BSL. At some point we’ve all seen those T.V shows where the BSL interpreter appears at the bottom of the screen to help viewers read the audio. We have also seen closed captions appear at the bottom of the screen to help deaf or hard of hearing viewers make sense of the video they are watching. But what would be the benefit of adding BSL interpreting services instead? BSL video subtitling opens up opportunities for more people to learn sign language (hearing or otherwise), potentially breaking down barriers. It also improves communication on a wider scale for the deaf community as a whole.  

BSL Video Subtitling can Broaden your Audience

To help BSL video content grow on a large scale online, BSL subtitles are an invaluable resource.

With experience in closed captioning for the deaf and hard of hearing, we’re totally pro BSL Video Subtitling for the following reasons:

• The ultimate goal of subtitles (regardless of language) is inclusion and accessibility, both of which have an impact on the deaf community on an everyday basis;
• BSL Subtitles can help deaf, hard of hearing and hearing viewers to learn BSL;
• More inclusion steers BSL away from being perceived as ‘elitist’, ultimately broadening its reach;
• Subtitles promote equality, making video content more accessible to all viewers regardless of nationality and signing ability;
• Important messages within BSL video content (especially those relating to the deaf community) can be more effectively publicised using captions.
