Today AST’s CaptionSync service is the leading video accessibility service for accuracy, cost-effectiveness, expertise and ease of use.

Our Approach: Our team will work with you to understand your needs, then employ a smart balance of cutting edge automation technology and experienced professional transcribers to provide closed captions, transcripts, and video search capability, without the error rates found in speech recognition and crowd-sourcing solutions. The end result is a smarter captioning and video accessibility service.

Benefits: Our transcripts, captions, and subtitles provide a multitude of benefits; the most important being accessibility, but also extra value benefits like in-video search, access to broader audiences, and improved learning outcomes.
