Synchronize your transcript to your video
To caption a video you need a transcript. Then you need to synchronize, or time stamp, the transcript so that each phrase is displayed at the right time. Our Auto Time Stamp (ATS) feature dramatically reduces the time it takes to time stamp your captions.

Leverage AI with speech recognition for automatic captioning on live broadcasts and online video
Closed captioning is a manual process that costs time and resources. IBM offers automated captioning services for content creators. This includes being able to train the AI (artificial intelligence) for high quality, accurate caption tracks that can be produced at scale.
Leverage speech recognition capabilities to ingest spoken and audio elements of video content. Generate high quality, accurate closed captions with the help of AI. Also create subtitles using a smart layout algorithm, which segments caption cues at natural breaking points resulting in greater readability.
Offer automated captioning for real-time broadcasts with closed captions rather than open captions. Pre-train the AI to recognize terms specific to your business, industry or geography, and increase overall transcription accuracy for generating live captions, offering better content accessibility.
Use an online video editor to review and edit caption results for online streaming video and video files, negating the need for a separate caption maker. Having an online editor that automatically synchronizes to the video timecode permits caption played back to confirm accuracy before saving.
A scalable, Cloud-based virtual conference platform that is an end-to-end solution for live or on-demand content to external audiences. This allows automatic captioning on video content through speech recognition. Transcripts can be downloaded as a webvtt caption file. This can support subtitles use cases, as it can be converted to different caption subtitle file formats, like to an SRT file or even plain text file (txt). Content can be viewed from included channel pages, embeds or from social media playback with Twitter. Although automated transcription is only available in English, captions for different languages like Spanish or Japanese can be manually uploaded. Request a demo to learn more about the closed caption software capabilities built into the solution.
A virtually all-in-one media platform for live and on-demand video. CMS (content management system) capabilities are included, such as an online video editor. This allows video editing of uploaded and archived content, such as trimming footage at the start or end.

Through a captioning process IBM Watson transcribed US Open matches using speech recognition and the Watson Speech to Text API. This automatic closed captioning process successfully captioned over 660 matches, creating a huge archive of videos with complete closed captions.
Develop a library of video content with a built-in search engine, allowing end users to enter keywords and get relevant results based on captions when searching for content through the IBM Video Streaming interface.
Create subtitles automatically for video content. Text is not burned in, like open captioning, and can be downloaded as a webvtt caption file. This webvtt file can then be converted to different caption formats, like to an SRT file or other subtitle file formats.
Produce highly accurate, real time closed captions for live broadcasts. Use automatic captioning to avoid the need to use live captioners on all content, scaling closed captioning availability while keeping costs low.
