Sanjay Chabra (President)

Talking Type Captions was founded by Sanjay Chabra, a film and television veteran, whose first foray into media was as a copy writer, writing ads for the top agency in India. Sanjay moved to the US in 1995 and has since then worked with a captioning software company and Discovery Communications Inc. (Travel Channel) in the production department.

Sanjay started Talking Type Captions in 2003, when he realized that he could provide top-notch captioning at very reasonable rates using his contacts in India. He left his job at Discovery and launched Talking Type from the basement of his house. Today, he operates from the head office in Kensington, MD (Washington DC area) and the captioning operations are based in New Delhi, India. All transcription and editing is done in the US. This way TT is able to provide the customers with the best of both world.

Sanjay envisions that getting the shows transcribed in the US using American transcribers and editors, and then using the text to create captions is the best way to cut costs. Most of the clients even today are other closed captioning companies who like the product and find if financially lucrative to use TT’s services. Moreover, the transcription is done in the US during day time and the same night the shows can be captioned. All this within 24 hours – the quickest turn around time in the industry.
