While Verbit’s AI-based technology performs well, to reach its targeted 99% accuracy levels for equity and deliver professional experiences to event and video audiences, layers of human fact checking are needed. Plus, there are those who are viewing silently or in non-native languages where misspellings and errors can hinder the experience and make videos and events appear unprofessional. The result can be inaccessible and poor viewing experiences for individuals with disabilities. While automatic speech recognition ( ASR) technologies exist and some are built into today’s streaming and web conferencing platforms, few reach high levels on their own. High accuracy is needed when taking measures such as captioning content or providing transcripts of events and proceedings to deliver on equity, but just a few small errors can send that number well below target. With that reality in mind, meeting the benchmarks and guidelines outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act, Equality Act 2010, Section 508, Section 504 and additional legislation aimed at protecting and serving the needs of individuals with disabilities is key to many. Human Intelligence is Needed for Accessibility Why? These tools are not only “nice to have” to offer more flexible experiences for viewers to consume content, but they’re needed by many with disabilities to participate with equity. “Verbit has extremely high expectations of transcribers and editors in their effort to provide their customers with the most accurate product as is possible,” said one transcriber, Linda, who has been working for the company since February 2020.

With Verbit often being tasked with producing captions and transcripts for live and real-time events, such as courses and virtual conferences, providing the high-level of accuracy which comes with professional transcriber editing is key to the process. In 2021, only 6% of transcription applicants were accepted, as Verbit ensures only the top qualifiers are offered positions and assigned the important roles of fact checking and editing the work of its technology. Verbit has assembled a robust team of professional transcribers who undergo thorough testing and training processes. What sets Verbit apart and allows it to support the accessibility needs of today’s businesses, universities, institutions and agencies? It’s not only its advanced in-house technology it’s the human element.
