Verbit Products Guide 2026-2027: Transcription, Captioning, Translation, and Dubbing Solutions by Industry

Every industry runs on spoken words – testimony in a deposition, dialogue in a streaming series, a university lecture, a company all-hands, a city council vote, a Sunday sermon. Verbit’s leading AI, captioning, and transcription technology turns those words into content people can access, search, and act on – and it’s trusted by more than 3,000 customers from organizations of every size across legal, media, education, corporate, government, and non-profit sectors.

In this guide, we’ll walk through Verbit’s products and services by industry so you can quickly find your fit – whether you’re a court reporting agency, a streaming platform, a university disability services office, a small business, a city clerk, or a museum. Some solutions, like live captioning and audio description, serve every industry. Others, like Legal Visor or Campus Complete, were purpose-built for one. Whichever solution you start with, you’ll always have the flexibility to add more services as your needs grow, all within the same Verbit platform.

What does Verbit offer?

Verbit offers AI-powered and human-verified captioning, transcription, translation, audio description, and dubbing, plus industry-specific products for courts, law firms, media companies, universities, and government agencies. Verbit’s AI captioning and transcription run on Captivate™, Verbit’s own automatic speech recognition (ASR) engine.

Captivate is domain-trained on your industry’s terminology and can even be customized down to your specific needs and content, too: upload the key terms, speaker names, and past content important to you to prep it, and it delivers strong accuracy for your organization from the get-go. It also improves performance each time you use it, learning on each event it’s employed for. You can order on demand, connect Verbit to the tools you already use through 20+ integrations, or choose an annual plan.

Verbit's core services: captioning, transcription, translation, audio description, and dubbing

Here’s a closer look at the core services available to every Verbit customer, whatever your industry. Each one lets you choose between AI speed and human expertise, so you can match accuracy, turnaround, and budget to the project.

Closed captioning and live captioning services. Verbit provides real-time captions for broadcasts, meetings, classes, courtrooms, and events, plus post-production captions for recorded video, delivered through Captivate™ AI or professional captioners. Venue Live brings live captions to in-person audiences at conferences and press events. With 430 million people worldwide living with disabling hearing loss, captions are a must for inclusive communication – and they make your video searchable, too.

AI and human transcription services. Verbit’s transcription services turn meetings, interviews, lectures, hearings, and archives into accurate, searchable text, with Verbit’s generative AI adding summaries, chapters, and keywords. Go with fast AI-only transcripts, or add human verification for records that need to hold up.

Translation, subtitles, and multilingual captioning. Quick refresher: captions show speech in the same language as the audio, while subtitles typically translate it into another – and Verbit offers both. Multi-language captioning and subtitling covers recorded content, while live translation now supports 117 bidirectional language pairs. Use AI translation for scale, or professional human translation when nuance matters most.

Audio description services. Audio description is spoken narration of on-screen visuals for audiences who are blind or have low vision. Verbit offers professional audio description for premium and broadcast content and AI audio description for high-volume libraries, in standard and extended formats. In the U.S. alone, 49.5 million adults report experiencing vision loss.

AI dubbing and voice-over. Verbit’s dubbing suite spans fully automated AI dubbing, AI dubbing with editorial review, and premium human-led voice performance. You can test a new market with AI voices, then step up to studio-grade dubbing for flagship titles.

Video localization. Localization brings these pieces together – captions, subtitles, dubbed audio, and cultural adaptation – so content feels native in each market. Verbit’s guide to localizing for global audiences explains how captioning, translation, and dubbing work as one workflow.

Legal transcription software and AI tools for attorneys, courts, and court reporters

Every case, hearing, and deposition comes down to the spoken record – but attorneys, courts, and court reporters each need something different from it. Attorneys need insights they can act on in the moment, courts need accurate records without backlogs, and court reporters need tools that make them faster without giving up control. Verbit’s legal suite is built for all three, powered by speech AI trained specifically on legal terminology and proceedings.

Legal Visor: AI deposition and litigation insights for attorneys

Verbit Legal Visor gives attorneys and litigators real-time insights in depositions and any other proceeding with spoken testimony – hearings, arbitrations, examinations under oath, witness interviews, internal investigations, and regulatory interviews. Before a proceeding, you upload your outline and prior transcripts. As testimony unfolds, Legal Visor flags admissions and inconsistencies, compares live testimony against prior statements and the case record, tracks outline coverage, and surfaces follow-up opportunities while there’s still time to act. Afterward, you get summaries and chapters ready for motion practice, mediation, or trial preparation.

It works live or on recorded proceedings, and it runs alongside your court reporter – not instead of one. It’s built for employment defense, insurance defense, commercial litigation, and plaintiff and personal injury practices. Verbit built it with design partners Fisher Phillips and Smith, Gambrell & Russell, where one partner compares it to bringing an extra associate to every deposition.

Legal Capture: real-time legal transcription for courts and courtrooms

Courts are juggling heavier caseloads with fewer stenographers, but every hearing still needs an accurate, timely record. Verbit Legal Capture records and transcribes hearings, trials, and other proceedings in real time, in person, remotely, or hybrid. Speaker diarization tells every voice apart from a single audio stream, rough drafts are ready the moment a session ends, and certified final transcripts are one click away through Verbit’s professional transcription team. Explore Verbit’s courtroom transcription solutions to see how courts clear transcript backlogs.

Legal Capture also supports non-English real-time editing for courts serving multilingual communities. Through a partnership with eSteno, courts and arbitration centers across Latin America now use Legal Capture in Spanish and Portuguese.

Legal Capture for court reporters and digital court reporting agencies

For stenographers, voice writers, scopists, digital reporters, and the agencies that employ them, Legal Capture is real-time court reporting software that takes the busywork off your plate. Reporters correct the live transcript as proceedings unfold, while voice signature ID, Q&A propagation, and speaker diarization handle the formatting automatically. Counsel can follow a shared live transcript, readbacks are one click away, and the mobile app captures statements and depositions in the field. Agencies like NAEGELI Depositional & Trial use it daily to deliver rough drafts and finals faster.

Legal Visor or Legal Capture?

• Choose Legal Visor if you’re an attorney or litigator who wants both legal transcription and real-time insights during depositions and other proceedings.

• Choose Legal Capture if you’re a court, court reporter, or agency that needs real-time legal transcription and certified records.

You can also use Verbit as needed for deposition transcription, legal translation, or law enforcement transcription.

Closed captioning and localization for media: CaptivateTM, Captivate Post, and Captivate Post Plus

Broadcast and streaming captions have to be fast, accurate, and accepted by every distribution partner – whether you run a network, a streaming platform, or a FAST channel. Verbit’s media lineup is built on Captivate™, and it covers your content from live air to post-production to global distribution.

Captivate delivers real-time, low-latency AI captions for live broadcasts, sports, news, and streaming. It uses prep materials, custom dictionaries, and show-specific research to get speaker names and niche terms right on air.

Captivate Post brings that same engine to post-production. It’s AI captioning built to move fast across big content libraries, with auto alignment and segmentation, commercial break detection, music notes, automatic caption placement, and 37+ atmospherics labels for sound effects.

Captivate Post Plus includes everything in Captivate Post, then adds a human QC review layer, human-reviewed caption placement, and offscreen speaker identification. It’s made for premium releases and distributors delivering to platforms with strict caption specs, where a rejected file means costly rework. Not sure which to pick? Match your captioning investment to the value and risk of each title.

From there, media companies can reach new audiences with professional and AI dubbing, subtitles in multiple languages, and audio description that supports FCC and CVAA requirements. For European audiences, the European Accessibility Act has applied to in-scope services since June 28, 2025. Explore our full range of media and entertainment solutions.

Captioning, transcription, and accessibility solutions for higher education and eLearning

Colleges and universities have more use cases than ever where accessibility and inclusion are expected or required – lectures, LMS courses, research interviews, commencement livestreams, athletics, and public-facing marketing video. Captions are only part of the picture: lecture transcripts double as study guides and note-taking tools for students, and researchers rely on transcription to analyze interviews and focus groups. Verbit supports all of it, whether one department needs live captioning for a single student’s accommodations or the whole campus needs a plan that scales.

For public institutions, ADA Title II requires web content, mobile apps, and digital media to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which reaches well beyond captions to transcripts for audio-only content, audio description for video, and accessible course materials. Compliance dates are April 26, 2027 for larger entities and April 26, 2028 for smaller ones – a good window to build workflows that scale.

Verbit Campus Complete is Verbit’s all-in-one annual subscription for colleges and universities preparing for ADA Title II. It includes unlimited AI captions and transcripts for lectures, courses, and events, human review where accuracy matters most, translation, AI audio description, and access to Verbit’s education specialists for ADA Title II and WCAG guidance. Disability services offices get predictable budgets instead of per-minute surprises, and faculty get training resources to build campus-wide awareness.

Campus Complete is one path, not the only one. Institutions, individual departments, and faculty can also order captioning, transcription, translation, and audio description on demand or through a custom plan – for a single course, a research project, a podcast, or a conference. Either way, you get the same platform, integrations, and support.

Verbit’s education accessibility services support students who are Deaf or have hearing loss, students who are blind or have low vision, multilingual learners, and anyone who simply learns better with captions. Live captioning handles real-time classes and events, while integrations with Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Kaltura, and Panopto deliver captions directly into existing tools.

Verbit has also supported eLearning platforms including Coursera, Skillshare, and Udacity. For eLearning providers looking to take course libraries global, multilingual subtitles and AI dubbing help reach learners in their own languages.

Corporate transcription, captioning, and AI dubbing for businesses of every size

From growing teams to global enterprises, every business creates a steady stream of spoken content: town halls, training modules, product webinars, podcasts, earnings calls, market research interviews, and customer-facing video. Verbit’s corporate and market research solutions turn all of it into accessible, searchable content. Smaller teams can get going quickly with Verbit’s plans and pricing, while larger organizations can build custom workflows through integrations and the Verbit API.

• Live captioning and live translation make all-hands meetings, webinars, and virtual events accessible to employees and customers in their preferred languages, with integrations for Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex.

• Transcription and note taking capture meetings, interviews, and research sessions, while Verbit’s generative AI adds summaries, chapters, and keywords so teams find what matters in minutes.

• AI dubbing and localization help training, onboarding, and marketing videos land in every region, with optional human review for brand-critical content.

• AI audio description makes internal video and eLearning accessible to employees who are blind or have low vision, at a scale that fits large content libraries.

Captions, transcripts, and audio description also help businesses meet accessibility expectations for public-facing and employee video. Security is often the deciding factor for corporate buyers. Verbit is SOC 2 Type II certified with encrypted workflows and a published trust and data policy – a key difference from free consumer tools that may expose sensitive recordings. HR and corporate legal departments can also use Legal Capture to document internal investigations and compliance hearings.

Government captioning and ADA Title II compliance: Civic Complete

Government agencies need accessible public meetings, records, and communications – and for state and local governments, ADA Title II now makes that a formal requirement. Agencies serving 50,000 or more people must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 26, 2027, and smaller entities and special districts by April 26, 2028. Public meetings, recorded council sessions, emergency announcements, and training videos all fall in scope.

Verbit Civic Complete brings everything an agency needs into one plan: live captioning for public meetings, post-production captions, audio description, transcripts, and multilingual access. Agencies can start with their highest-priority content and add services as needs evolve, without juggling multiple vendors. Older recordings can be covered through archive captioning, and live translation helps town halls and board meetings reach residents in their preferred languages.

Civic Complete is one option, not a requirement. Federal, state, county, and municipal agencies can also use Verbit’s captioning, transcription, translation, and audio description on demand or through a custom plan, from a single board meeting to a statewide training library. Law enforcement agencies rely on Verbit’s law enforcement transcription for body-worn camera footage, interviews, and jail calls.

Under the hood, government workflows run on Captivate for Government, Verbit’s ASR trained on public-sector terminology, with Section 508 support, SOC 2 Type II security, and contracting available under the GSA Schedule. Explore the full range of government accessibility solutions.

Accessibility for non-profits, museums, cultural institutions, and houses of worship

Non-profits rarely have large accessibility budgets, but their content often carries the most meaning: survivor testimony, historical archives, exhibit videos, and weekly services. Verbit helps mission-driven organizations make that content accessible, searchable, and multilingual without adding staff.

Preserving oral histories and archives. The Claims Conference partnered with Verbit to transcribe Holocaust survivor testimonies recorded in Hebrew, English, Russian, Polish, and other languages, with a goal of 8 million minutes. Verbit’s ASR was trained on the archives’ own glossary of terms, and human editors review the output, so researchers can search testimonies instead of listening hour by hour.

Museums and visitor centers. At the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation, Verbit has captioned more than 500 videos in English, Hebrew, Arabic, and Spanish, so international guests and visitors who are Deaf or have hearing loss can follow every exhibit. See how cultural institutions build access with captions, audio description, and translation.

Churches and houses of worship. Parkland Chapel, a church in Farmington, Missouri, serves more than 525 worshippers each week and uses Verbit live captioning in the sanctuary and on the go. What started as support for a few congregants now benefits the whole room. Explore Verbit’s church captioning and transcription, including sermon transcripts, audio description, and translation for multilingual congregations.
