Welcome to the August edition of The Intel, Verbit’s monthly newsletter delivering insights on innovation in verbal intelligence.
This month, we’re focusing on how technology is reshaping our industries, starting with how AI is challenging the traditional legal billable hour and pushing firms toward value-based pricing. We also share how our new integration with AIM is streamlining live captioning requests for students, celebrate the 35th anniversary of the ADA by looking at the evolution of captions and captioning laws and discuss how AI in the classroom improves student and teacher workflows.
AI, the billable hour and the new legal value equation
AI is challenging the traditional billable hour by reducing the time it takes to complete legal tasks, shifting the focus from hours worked to value delivered. As a result, law firms and legal departments are adopting value-based pricing models and leveraging AI tools to streamline workflows, enhance strategic work and improve client outcomes.
A seamless solution: Verbit partners with AIM to simplify live captioning requests
Verbit’s newest integration with AIM (Accessible Information management) makes it even easier to request, schedule and manage live captioning accommodations for students. Our latest update features the ability for users to seamlessly assign and oversee caption requests and track their status in real-time within the AIM platform to ensure students receive timely support.
Celebrating 35 years of the ADA: A closer look at the role of captioning
This July marked the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a landmark civil rights law that has transformed accessibility.
