121 Captions is owned and run by deaf and hearing-impaired people who know first-hand the ease of access and benefits to business that swift and accurate captions provide. Director Tina Lannin founded 121 Captions because of her personal experience of the lack of excellent quality  captioning services while at university, and during her career.

Tina recognised that the time and money incurred in captioners travelling to sit near her to provide captioning could be spent more effectively in providing the service remotely instead. She envisaged remote captioning services with skilled captioners streaming the contents of calls, conferences and seminars quickly and securely to people all round the world.

Tina established 121 Captions to create that service– and now provides on-site and remote captioning services using the best captioners and the most innovative technology available.

Our 121 Captions team includes court reporters and captioners, professional lip readers, certified lipreading teachers, deaf awareness trainers and sign language interpreters.

We also work with a hand-picked, international network of over 300 professionally-qualified captioners, all of whom are registered and accredited by internationally-recognised professional associations to provide on-site and remote captioning services.

Our focus on quality and professionalism has led to 121 Captions becoming approved suppliers to blue-chip companies, top universities, government departments and not-for-profit organisations, including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, NHS England, BT, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Barclays Bank, Ernst & Young, British Council Qatar, National Crime Agency.
