Captioning Service

ITS is pleased to announce the launch of its new Captioning Service.

Multimedia is a useful tool and often used to share information with students and colleagues. If we’re not careful, however, we can unintentionally exclude members of our community by creating inaccessible multimedia.  For users with disabilities, elements such as audio without captions can be barriers to getting the information they need.  Furthermore, research has shown that closed captions can benefit all learners as they watch the video content.

To facilitate the accessibility process, ITS offers a service to caption multimedia.  The service is $15/hour.  For more information, contact itaccessibility@uconn.edu or submit the Captioning Quote Request form.
