Captioning celluloid film is a wholly different thing to transcribing an online video - the prices are in no way comparable.

I create captions for hundreds of hours of video every year - I know exactly how much work it can be, and, at the same time, exactly how easy it can be.



As I understand it, Rear Window Captioning Systems specifically don't modify the actual film of the movie. That's their advantage over baked-in captions.


True, but nevertheless, I assure you that almost nobody pays $40 per minute for captioning, no matter what it says on Wikipedia.
