What caption errors can Closed Caption Creator detect automatically?
Closed Caption Creator's Realtime Error Detection (RED) flags illegal characters, reading rates above a set maximum, caption durations outside minimum and maximum limits, and character or line lengths that exceed configured thresholds. Alerts are fully customizable and appear next to the affected caption event while authoring.
QC & Review Toolkit
Everything you need to deliver with confidence
Automatic detection, batch corrections, and team review tools keep every project on spec.
Custom alerts help identify errors in real-time
Realtime Error Detection (RED) alerts can be customized by the user to display notifications relating to illegal characters, maximum reading rate, min/max duration, maximum character lengths, and maximum line lengths.
Style Guides ensure your project meets technical requirements
Custom Style Guides can be set up and configured to flag both technical and content issues when reviewing captions. QC Reports can also be generated based on Style Guides and exported for viewing in Microsoft Excel.
Fix multiple errors at once
Batch editing, and automation tools such as Automatic Formatting and Automatic Timing Correction can save users hours by fixing tedious issues that are easily handled by software. For example, you can set a maximum reading rate, and our system will automatically correct any caption Events that are out of spec.
Share projects with guest reviewers
Take advantage of Team Projects to share and work collaboratively with other users at the same time. Clients are able to view and make non-destructive edits that can later be incorporated into a final version.
Communicate with tags, notes, and approvals
Custom metadata such as tags and notes can be incredibly useful when working in a team environment. Pass/fail approval checkboxes make it easy to see which Events need work, and which ones have passed review.
Workflow
From first pass to final delivery
A review workflow your whole team — including clients — can follow.
STEP 1
Detect
Realtime Error Detection highlights problem Events as you caption, so issues surface long before export.
STEP 2
Fix
Run Automatic Correction Tools to batch-fix formatting and timing issues across the whole project.
STEP 3
Approve
Reviewers mark Events pass/fail with approval checkboxes and communicate with custom tags and notes.
STEP 4
Deliver
Generate a QC Report from your Style Guide and export it to Excel to document every check.

Caption QC & review questions
Answers to common questions about automatic error detection, style guides, correction tools, and approval workflows in Closed Caption Creator.
Realtime Error Detection (RED) is a customizable alert system that highlights caption problems while authoring. It displays a visual indicator next to any caption event with an issue, covering illegal characters, maximum reading rate, minimum and maximum duration, maximum characters per event, and maximum line length.
Yes. Automatic Correction Tools handle batch fixes such as Automatic Formatting and Automatic Timing Correction. A user can set a maximum reading rate, for example, and the system automatically corrects any caption events that are out of spec, saving hours on tedious adjustments that software handles easily.
Style Guides are custom rule sets configured to flag both technical and content issues when reviewing captions. They ensure a project meets specific technical requirements before delivery. QC Reports can be generated from a Style Guide and exported for viewing in Microsoft Excel, making results easy to share.
Closed Caption Creator generates QC Reports based on a configured Style Guide. After running the report against a project, the results can be exported and opened in Microsoft Excel, allowing caption issues to be documented, shared, and reviewed outside the application.
Yes. Team Projects can be shared with guest users such as clients. Guests can view the work and make non-destructive edits that can later be incorporated into a final version, so feedback never overwrites the original captions during the review and approval process.
Reviewers use pass/fail approval checkboxes attached to caption events, along with custom tags and notes. This metadata makes it easy to see at a glance which events still need work and which have passed review, and supports communication between team members during approvals.
