Verbit Launches Media-Focused ASR

Verbit, a provider of voice artificial intelligence transcription and captioning solutions, today released an automatic captioning product designed specifically for the media industry.

Verbit committed to expanding into the media vertical with the acquisition of VITAC, the largest captioning company in North America, a year ago.

"As the nation's largest provider of captioning, VITAC is uniquely positioned to leverage the experience and precision of its professional captioners and Verbit's proprietary automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology to deliver one of the best hybrid and dynamic automatic captions in the market," said VITAC General Manager Doug Karlovits in a statement.

"Verbit is proud to expand its superior AI transcription technologies into the media space through the launch of VITAC's newest product offering, an adapted and hybrid automatic captioning solution designed for the North American broadcast market," said Verbit Chief Product and Technology Officer Raffi Margaliot in a staterment.
