Use Cases

Accessibility Compliance for Online Videos

Human-generated closed captions make on-demand video fully accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences while helping content owners satisfy ADA, WCAG 2.1, Section 508, and EU Web Accessibility Directive requirements without relying on error-prone auto-captioning.

SEO & Engagement Boost for YouTube Channels

Accurate captions give search engines indexable text, raising video discoverability and watch time. Viewers can follow content silently in noisy or quiet environments, improving retention and reducing bounce rates across mobile and desktop devices.

Corporate Training & Onboarding Modules

Closed captions on training videos aid knowledge absorption for multilingual teams, reinforce technical jargon, and let employees review lessons without headphones, accelerating onboarding and meeting HR compliance in regulated industries.

E-Learning & MOOC Global Reach

Captions paired with transcripts power subtitle translation, enabling massive open online courses to serve international learners, support varying bandwidth conditions, and improve comprehension for ESL students studying complex subjects.

Government & Public Sector Communications

Captioned public-service announcements, council meetings, and agency briefings promote transparency, meet federal accessibility mandates, and provide searchable archives for journalists, citizens, and legal auditors.

Broadcast & OTT Regulatory Compliance

Television networks and streaming platforms rely on certified captions to meet FCC, Ofcom, and CRTC regulations, avoiding fines, unlocking syndication rights, and ensuring inclusive experiences across smart TVs, set-top boxes, and mobile apps.

Webinar & Virtual Event Repurposing

Post-event captioning transforms recorded webinars into searchable knowledge assets, fueling blog posts, highlight reels, and social snippets while giving registrants accurate transcripts for quick reference.

Legal & Courtroom Video Evidence

Closed captions of depositions, police body-cam footage, and evidentiary recordings create verbatim, time-coded text that lawyers annotate for discovery, improving clarity in proceedings and aiding juries and judges during review.
