Captions & Transcripts
Turn speech into live captions and reviewed transcripts, keep the timed text with the video, and reuse it for subtitles and translation.
The challenge
Why this matters
Captions are no longer a bonus. Public bodies, schools and companies need text that is accurate, synchronized and reusable, and it has to be there for live and recorded video alike.
What it is
Captions & Transcripts in plain words
Captions & Transcripts converts speech into live captions and into transcripts that editors can review. The timed text stays with the video, so one source feeds captions, subtitles, search and translation.
Editors check names, acronyms and special terms before text becomes permanent. A custom word list means the same terms are spelled the same way every time.
Benefits
What you get
Live and recorded
Captions run during a live event and are cleaned up afterward for the replay.
Reviewed by people
Editors correct names and terms before the text is published as the record.
One text, many uses
The same transcript powers captions, subtitles, search inside the video, and translation.
Better access
Captions help viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing, in a loud room, or watching without sound.
How it works
Simple to start, simple to run
Start with clear audio
Captions are only as good as the sound, so we check the audio path first.
Transcribe
Speech becomes timed text for live and recorded programs.
Review
Editors fix names, terms and numbers using your word list.
Publish
Captions play with the video, and the transcript is saved.
