Transcription and captioning are two different solutions, both of which can be delivered live in real-time or when recorded content and events are captured. Transcription involves converting spoken audio or video into long-form text, often displayed in full and broken out by each speaker. It is typically used for search and recall, serving as notes. Captioning divides the transcribed text or spoken audio from a video into sections which are time-coded and synchronized with that video. It can be used during live events, such as meetings, conferences and lectures and appear on screen as well. Both can be done manually by listening to the audio and manually typing out the words, but with technologies like Verbit’s there is no need to type everything from scratch, as captions and transcripts can be generated automatically or by a team of human experts. Both are helpful for accessibility needs and engagement.
