Verbit launches industry-first Speaker IDs for live ASR broadcast captions
We’re excited to introduce speaker identification to our Captivate™ ASR solution! An industry first for live broadcast captioning, this new feature improves the quality and clarity of automated captions during live programs by identifying not just speaker changes but the speakers themselves.
The EAA deadline is approaching — is your content accessible?
The European Accessibility Act’s (EAA) June 28 deadline is on the horizon, and some organizations are feeling the pressure to make their digital content truly inclusive. Verbit can help bridge the gap with industry-specific captioning, transcription and accessibility solutions designed to ensure compliance and usability for all. Get ahead of the deadline — explore how Verbit can help you meet the EAA with confidence.

Discover how Verbit can support your court’s evolving needs.
