Human Transcription
(Speech to Text)
We convert audio into clean, readable, time-coded text. This becomes the foundation for captions, subtitles, and future localization.
Transcription & Closed Captioning Services
From Spoken Content to Multilingual Assets Ready for Global Distribution
Transcription & Closed Captioning at 1-StopAsia operate as a speech-to-text production layer designed for accuracy, clarity, and cross-market accessibility. We convert spoken audio into structured, time-coded text, and transform it into captions that match regional reading speed, accessibility requirements, and platform conventions. Whether your content is a webinar, training module, product demo, or multi-market video series, we adapt it to the linguistic, technical, and regional needs of Asian audiences.
For multilingual video workflows, this service integrates seamlessly with our Subtitling & Subtitle Translation solutions, allowing you to run
transcription → captions → subtitling as one coherent pipeline.

Built for Accessibility. Calibrated for Multilingual Video Pipelines.
Accurate transcription and captioning form the foundation of any global multimedia workflow. Asian markets add unique challenges: varied reading speeds, non-spaced writing systems (Thai), character-dense scripts (Chinese/Japanese), tone-based languages (Vietnamese), and culturally specific sound cues.
Our Expert-In-The-Loop service ensures your audio is captured faithfully and transformed into text that works for viewers, compliance frameworks, and downstream subtitling workflows. We take your audio and turn it into clean, structured text that’s easy to read and ready for any next step.
Closed Captioning
(Accessibility Layer)
We create captions that reflect not only dialogue but context. Optimized for accessibility, mobile consumption, and platform standards (YouTube, LMSs, streaming environments).
Multilingual Captioning
(Asian Languages)
We deliver captions adapted to the reading behavior and script logic of the various Asian languages like Chinese (SC/TC), Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Bahasa, and more.
Subtitling Integration

When you need multilingual versions, captions can feed directly into our Subtitling & Subtitle Translation process.

Operational Pillars
Regional hubs for real-market usage control
Our regional hubs operate directly within target markets to ensure linguistic decisions reflect real usage, not assumptions. This allows continuous control over tone, terminology, and relevance as content moves into live production environments.
Fit-for-purpose models (human-only, MTPE+TE, QA-only)
Each project runs through a model selected for its actual purpose - not a one-size-fits-all workflow. Whether human-only, MT post-editing, or QA-only, the setup aligns quality, speed, and cost with your operational priorities.
Proprietary processes that work at scale and fit any production
Our proprietary processes are designed to scale without breaking consistency or quality. They integrate seamlessly into any production environment, adapting to volume, complexity, and evolving requirements without disrupting delivery.
Industries Covered per Market
Our teams follow the client’s established best practices and blend them with local requirements, so the final translation matches the expectations of both your business and your audience. If you bring SOP templates, UI string rules, or brand voice instructions, we operate them directly inside your workflow.
