Program providers have counted on The National Captioning Institute, Inc. (NCI) to provide real-time and prerecorded captions for television since 1979. We have partnerships with major newscasters and broadcast/media networks across the country.

NCI offers a multitude of captioning services for the broadcast, media, and entertainment industry, including live automated captioning solutions, 24/7 standby services for breaking news, seamless captioner handoffs to ensure continuous captions, and the ability to caption through multiple encoders simultaneously.
