VITAC
VITAC is the largest provider of closed captioning in the country, responsible for captioning over 500,000 live program hours per year, and creating verbatim, precisely timed captions for 57,000 prerecorded programs per year. Our customers include every major network, most cable channels, program producers, corporations, government agencies, and more. VITAC was founded in 1986 by two men with one big idea: produce the best-quality realtime captions for viewers who rely on captions. Fast-forward 30 years, and that big idea is still the same, with more services and customers growing year after year. Providing Vital Access is in our name and is our mission. Let us show you why we are called the “no worries” caption company, with accessible media solutions for every industry from web captioning to Spanish subtitling to audio description.
Caption Colorado was founded in 1991, and quickly built a solid reputation by providing a year of free real-time captioning service for Denver station KCNC-TV to benefit the local deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Within a year, we secured our first paying customer (WRC-TV in Washington, DC) and revolutionized the captioning industry by providing premium service at reasonable rates. In the early 1990s, closed captioning came at a steep price – with rates ranging from $400 to $1,000 per hour for realtime captions, despite substantial government subsidies. Their ability to provide superior real-time service for rates as low as $120 per hour empowered broadcasters to make their content accessible to the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, and established Caption Colorado as one of America’s largest providers of real-time closed captioning services.
