Greater accuracy

We pride ourselves on 100% target accuracy, which you will not find elsewhere. That’s because we hand-pick our captioners, ensuring they are accredited and qualified to the appropriate standards needed by their registration bodies.

Faster than anyone else

121 provides the fastest real-time captioning platform of any captioning company. Words appear in just 1 second. Our online captioners can stream up to 360 words per minute! Our offline captioners turn around work in 24 hours.

Use the latest technologies

With our state-of-the-art software, our live captions can stream on top of your PowerPoint presentation or YouTube video, so you only need to use one screen. That’s a complementary service for our customers, by the way, something not offered by other captioning companies.

Natural captioning

Our real-time / CART captioning sends you captions word by word, making it easier to read. Many other captioning companies send captions in blocks, making it harder to understand.

Higher quality

The 121 Captions Quality Mark gives you confidence you are getting the best captioning service, bar none.

Dozens of languages

We caption online in more than 30 languages and offline in over 80 languages. That’s more than other captioning companies.

Deaf aware

Unlike other captioning companies our captioners understand deaf voices, and have a high level of deaf awareness which makes a huge difference to our users.

User-friendly

Our easy-to-use captioning platform lets you highlight, bold, underline and change font colours. You can also control how fast the captions arrive on the screen making it easier to follow what’s said.

Greater reliability

Our network of captioners from around the world means you get online captioning when you want it, whether that’s at short notice, or at 5 am. Other captioning services simply can’t offer that.

Only human

We only use human captioners as they provide much more accurate captions than the automatic speech recognition technology used by other captioning companies.

Personal attention

Being run by deaf professionals we know first-hand how frustrating it can be for people to feel out of the loop in meetings, conference calls and seminars. So we move heaven and earth to make sure you get the support you need.

More flexibility

You can access our captions wherever you want on your laptop, tablet, smartphone, or Google Glass.
