There is a growing demand for cost-effective and reliable services that enable organizations to capture, organize and manage their multi-media content. This allows for efficient access and reuse of the content, increasing its efficiency and productivity. Synchronized transcripts and captioned video content provides a great avenue to accomplish this. Additionally, compliance with regulations such as Equal Access section 508 mandates captioning of all video content.
- Meet Regulatory Mandates & Make content available to viewers with learning disabilities
Compliance with ADA or Equal Access Section 508 requires that all broadcast or distributed video content be captioned. This includes webcasts, traditional video broadcasts, video tapes, and DVD content.
- Allow viewers to access and understand video content in public places such as airports, gyms, malls
Synchronized transcripts and captions aid in comprehension of content under distracting circumstances.
- Jump to specific portion of the audio and/or video based on keyword search
Synchronization of text transcripts with audio/video content enables the multimedia to be indexed and searchable with traditional text searches. Viewers are able to navigate from hyperlinked transcripts to specific portions of the audio/video content.
- Enhance understanding for viewers with ESL (English as a Second Language) and/or learning disabilities
Captioned multimedia content enables a larger community (ex. viewers who are not native English speakers) to access the multimedia content.
