Why should you choose MCS as your realtime closed captioning provider? There are many reasons, but the most compelling are as follows:

1. FAIR AND REASONABLE PRICING. MCS provides the highest-quality realtime closed captioning for the lowest possible price. We offer the best value for the video programmer. All bids are customized for the client's specific closed captioning requirements. At MCS, one rate card does not fit all.
   
   
2. RELIABLE EXECUTION OF CAPTIONING ASSIGNMENTS. MCS has 16 years of realtime closed captioning experience, and has captioned over 101,000 hours of live, domestic and international news and sporting events. MCS's highly experienced management team is actively involved in day-to-day captioning operations. MCS has never missed a realtime captioning broadcast in over 16 years for technical reasons within its control.
   
   
3. ESTABLISHED PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES. Realtime captioning is an extremely demanding skill, requiring a team of highly qualified realtime writers and caption/production coordinators who assist captioners in broadcast preparation, and technical support during broadcasts. Our quality-control procedures have been refined over the past 16 years of business to provide a methodology for maintaining high-quality realtime captions of very demanding and difficult subject matter, such as live and breaking news.
   
   
4. EXPERIENCED CAPTIONERS AND CAPTION COORDINATORS. On average, our realtime writers have an average of eight years realtime reporting and/or captioning experience. Our caption coordinators, who provide significant technical support, broadcast preparation assistance and quality-control monitoring, have an average of five years experience, in addition to undergraduate degrees in journalism, media, English, and/or computer sciences. Our captioners have developed their captioning dictionaries to caption the widest range of domestic and international news programming.
   
   
5. OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY AND BACKUP. Our closed captioning operations are provided through our two major captioning facilities on the East and West coasts, which have demonstrated experience in providing backup support to each other in emergency coverage situations, as well as day-to-day captioning of news and sports programming. All captioning operations are monitored through our offices, enabling us to provide continuous high-quality closed captioning, with backups in place. Simply put, as a broadcaster you can ill afford to entrust the captioning of your video signal to unsupervised "remotes," captioning at home, who cannot be taken off air, captioning without substantial personnel or equipment backup in place, and subject to distractions from a home/family environment while on air. We have processes and procedures in place to ensure that remote captioners we use are fully integrated into our realtime operations, and their on-air access is controlled through our main office in Carlsbad, CA.
   
   
6. WE ARE THE BEST AT WHAT WE DO!
