People putting gears together suggesting integration of tools that fit together

In today’s digital-first learning and video-focused environments, accessibility isn’t just a compliance checkbox, it’s become an expectation. For organizations using video to teach, collaborate, or share knowledge, ensuring that viewers can engage fully with your content is essential. That’s where Verbit comes in. As a leading AI-powered captioning and transcription platform, Verbit integrates directly with tools like Canvas Studio and Kaltura, helping educators, enterprises, and content creators streamline accessibility across all their media. These integrations enable seamless captioning, transcription, and audio description workflows — making it easier than ever to meet ADA and WCAG compliance standards while supporting more inclusive experiences for every learner and viewer.

Because our more than 3,000 customers work in industries that remain built on person-to-person conversations, we work hard to make your words count and ensure they reach your entire audience. Incorporating video captions into your content goes a long way in ensuring that what you’re sharing is accessible. To make this process easier, Verbit offers extensive integrations and captioning services for both live and offline environments, leveraging automatic speech recognition technology to enhance media accessibility.

From video management processes and file-sharing platforms to learning management systems and educational software, Verbit integrations make the workflow easier for our users. Our commitment to accessibility support means we’re constantly improving our assistive technology to meet evolving business needs and disability accommodation requirements.

Making Education More Accessible with Verbit’s Canvas Studio Captioning Integration

Verbit’s integration with Canvas Studio empowers educators to create fully accessible video content directly within their learning environments. Through this streamlined connection, instructors can easily add accurate captions to recorded lectures, discussions, and course materials without any extra steps. By improving caption accuracy and automating accessibility workflows, this partnership ensures students can independently engage with course content, fostering inclusive learning experiences.

This Canvas integration came about as Instructure, a leading learning management platform and maker of Canvas, a central hub for online, hybrid, and in-person classrooms, announced the launch of its Canvas Studio Professional Captioning solution in early 2025. This direct integration with Canvas Studio simplifies the captioning workflow and enables educators to make video course content accessible for students in just a few clicks. It eliminates the need to transfer files between multiple video hosting solutions or manually correct auto-generated captions, thus improving overall caption accuracy.

“In the ever-evolving world of education, accessibility is not just a buzzword; it’s a fundamental necessity,” Instructure noted in its product announcement. “Students rely on diverse content formats to grasp information effectively, especially those with disabilities who require accommodations like captions for audiovisual materials.”

“Ensuring accessibility means that every student, regardless of their abilities, can engage with course materials independently, fostering a level playing field for learning. Meeting these accessibility needs promotes inclusivity and contributes to a more enriching and equitable educational experience for all.”

Expanding Accessibility Through Verbit’s Kaltura MediaSpace and Management Console Integrations

With Verbit’s integrations for the Kaltura Management Console and Kaltura MediaSpace, institutions and businesses can seamlessly connect captioning, transcription, and audio description services to their existing media workflows. The enhanced integration allows users to request Extended Audio Descriptions for any video, which is an essential step toward full WCAG 2 Level AA and ADA compliance. These features expand accessibility for learners who are blind or have low vision, while helping organizations meet modern digital accessibility requirements with confidence.

Kaltura’s Management Console is a web-based platform that acts as a central hub for managing and organizing multimedia content, particularly video, within Kaltura’s system, while Kaltura’s MediaSpace is where users can interact with the Kaltura system. In both cases, Verbit’s integrations provide seamless connections to Verbit’s high-quality transcription, video captions, and audio descriptions services, enhancing accessible media and streamlining video workflows.

Our enhanced Verbit and Kaltura integrations allow educators to request extended audio description for any video. This takes video accessibility to the next level, providing equal access for learners who are blind or have low vision. Audio descriptions are often a requirement for compliance with WCAG 2 Level AA standards, which are widely recognized accessibility guidelines. Extended audio description is the best way to meet this requirement for educational content, further supporting ADA compliance and inclusive media practices.
