38 years combined experience

We started AV-TEXT in 2012 in Cape Town because we kept seeing the same problems: transcripts full of errors, captions that looked like machine output, and support teams who had never touched the files they were sending back.

We wanted something different. A service where the people you email are the people doing the work. Where your fifth project gets the same care as your first. Where we remember how you like things done.

Over time we realized clients didn't just need better transcripts. They needed workflows that actually fit how they work. So we started helping with that too. Custom transcript templates, file delivery that plugs into existing systems, captioning pipelines built around publishing schedules. We figure it out with you.

We use modern tools to handle the repetitive parts of the job. That frees us up for what actually matters: getting it right, formatting it properly, and being people you can rely on.

All these years later, we still open every project file ourselves. We still remember which clients need UK spelling, who wants timestamps every 30 seconds, and who's always working against impossible deadlines. That's the business we wanted to build.
