AST serves the needs of the corporate market by providing captioning and transcripts for a variety of corporate media, including corporate training video, product launch events, webcasts, and internal corporate messaging events. We’ve delivered captioned programs to Computer Associates, BEA, Lockheed-Martin, Microsoft, Apple, Booz Allen Hamilton, Adobe Systems, Cisco, Verizon, and Cengage Learning to name a few. Our services enable them to reach out to a wider, more inclusive audience of employees, customers and partners.

Captioning your media makes your content accessible to everyone, including people with hearing disabilities. If you are messaging to a global audience, captioning your content will improve comprehension and retention of your material for all of your audience, particularly those with English as a second language. If you intend to localize your content, the caption and transcript data serves as the first step towards translation. Equally important, caption and transcript data is indexable by search engines, allowing those services to bring more relevant traffic to your content.

Our CaptionSync-generated captions support most media types including YouTube, Google Video, iTunes, Podcasts and web media formats like Flash, Windows Media, Silverlight, QuickTime and Real.


Typical users of AST’s services include:

  • Corporate training departments
  • Employee and investor relations
  • Corporate communications department
  • Human resource departments
  • TV / video / media producers
