THIS IS AMERICA & THE WORLD has been in the excellent hands of the National Captioning Institute for years now — and our strong relationship and friendship will continue. Closed captioning requires brainpower, skill, discipline, creativity, dexterity and the willingness — a rare ability nowadays — to listen. On behalf of our viewers in the United States and throughout the world who have received the benefits of your unique services, a huge thank you. Their gratitude for what you do so expertly must be immense. Producer Jake Cregger and I are ever so grateful to be partners with NCI.

Strategic Television, as part of PSSI Live, has been responsible for transmission and distribution of the largest sports and entertainment Pay-Per-View events worldwide for over 30 years. With millions of viewers watching, the closed captions must be quick, accurate and reliable, and NCI is the gold standard on all counts. From pre-event coordination to the high-pressured live environment, the flexibility of NCI’s technical team and skills of their real-time captioners is second to none.

In covering baseball 24/7 all year long, MLB network produces thousands of hours of live television and NCI has been a great partner by providing fast, accurate and reliable captions to our ever-changing programming schedule.

NCI has been live-captioning TMZ on TV since we first went on the air. When captioning for VOD became a requirement, their offline department stepped up and took great care of us. Over the years, we’ve added more shows and distribution channels, and NCI has continued to be our vendor of choice. They now do the broadcast captioning at TMZ for three of our franchises – TMZ on TV, TMZ Live, and TMZ Sports – and they also do all of the offline/VOD captioning for each of these programs. Whenever possible, we recommend them to our distribution partners and our affiliated shows, and they continue to deliver day in, day out, and year after year.

I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the excellent quality of work that has been done for us on the offline closed captioning of our video seminar series on RF measuring techniques. Not only have the video captions captured my words faithfully, but the person or people creating the captions have consistently translated a large volume of difficult technical content with proper use and spelling of arcane words, terms and abbreviations. I think that the captions will make our seminars much more accessible to non-native English speakers in the U.S. and abroad, a beneficial derivative effect of the goal of making them 508 compliant.

The Team at NCI has been great to work with for closed captioning of our shows, “Jack Hanna’s Wild Countdown” and “Into the Wild.” They’ve been responsive, efficient and willing to go above and beyond even when our sometimes-crazy production schedules push deadlines. We very much appreciated their flexibility and their ability to run with the punches, always with good humor and great attitude.
— Susan C, Spectrum Productions
I’ve had the privilege to work with the National Captioning Institute when my show “Between the Lines with Barry Kibrick” went into syndication with PBS stations around the country. Their service is IMPECCABLE and their service is always at the top of their game. They constantly do all in their power to make things right and treat their clients like we are their only concern.
— Barry Kibrick, host of “Between the Lines”
Last night went so smoothly. Our audience was so appreciative that we were able to offer captioning on this event. Thank you so much for all your help!!
— Shay Wescott, Dairy Arts Center
NCI has been an incredible resource for us that allows us to be inclusive to our cherished Deaf and hearing impaired community members around the world. Our representative is always responsive and easy to work with, the captioners are prompt and highly skilled, and the tools and interface are a breeze. After struggling with other captioning solutions in the past, we’re so grateful to have NCI and recommend them to everyone seeking quality captioning services.
