Company Profile
CaptionCube is a social enterprise that provides transcribing and captioning services to convert what is spoken into text so that learners with hearing loss can understand what is being taught in the lecture/seminar videos. With more communication accessibility built into the lifelong learning journey, this can lead to enhanced employability and better job opportunities for learners with special needs as well as the mature population.
Captions not only benefit deaf/hard-of-hearing learners, they enhance the learning experience for all through improving viewer recall, retention and comprehension. They also help to make your videos more discoverable and accessible, and expand the size of your reachable audience.
With our web-based crowd-sourced transcribing platform, CaptionCube aims to provide meaningful, freelance transcribing job opportunities for persons who require flexible working hours due to family or health conditions e.g. physical disabilities.
