Our Approach

About AST

Automatic Sync Technologies (AST) was first designed 17 years ago, in collaboration with a team of expert advisors from higher education and funding from a Small Business Innovation Research grant from the U.S. Department of Education. AST, a Verbit company, provides leading accessibility solutions that are accurate, cost-effective and easy to use. 

Our Approach: Our team works to understand your unique needs. We employ a smart balance of cutting edge automation technology and experienced professional transcribers to provide accurate and effective captions, transcripts and video search features. The end result is a smarter captioning and greater accessibility.

Benefits: Our transcripts, captions and subtitles provide a multitude of benefits; the most important being accessibility. These solutions go beyond access to provide extra value benefits like in-video search, the ability to reach broader audiences and improved learning outcomes. Whatever your goal may be, to educate, inform, or inspire, AST will help you maximize the value of your content and experiences.
