VoCaption for Broadcasters

Live captioning and subtitling can be complicated and expensive. Breaking news or last minute changes make it even harder to coordinate with a human captioner, confirm the audio feed is clear and hope the captioner can understand what is being said and get the words right and keep complaints from viewers at a minimum.

VoCaption is a new, best of breed, solution that uses artificial intelligence to deliver accurate, real-time, speech-to-text processing across a diverse and expanding language base to assist with emergency captioning and subtitling for breaking news, remotes, files needing last minute subtitles and support so your human captioner can take a break periodically.

As part of a larger solution, VoCaption empowers you to deliver automatic subtitling across the most comprehensive range of linear, OTT and file-based formats on the market today. It can be stand-alone with 3^rd party subtitling but it’s full benefits are felt when used in conjunction with BroadStream’s market-leading Polistream captioning encoder and OASYS playout.
