Verbit (formerly AST) is an approved post-production captioning vendor for the California Community College (CCC) System. We’ve been providing services to CCCs for over 10 years and have worked with over 45 campuses within the system. We provide captioninglive captioning, and audio description services at special pricing for all CCC colleges.

When using Verbit, you can easily submit your media for transcription and captioning with just a few clicks. Verbit integrates into nearly all video platforms, including those used widely by CCC campuses, such as PanoptoMediasite and VoiceThread. We also provide captioning for campuses that use TechConnect/3C Media.

Get Started

Audio description provides a way for individuals who are blind or have low vision to experience visual information through narrated descriptions. Verbit works with experienced professionals to deliver studio-quality descriptive audio that is clear and inclusive.

Get Started

From live captioning to CART services, Verbit delivers the same quality and support that have made us the industry leader in post-production closed captioning for educators, government agencies and cultural institutions.

Get Started

Production transcripts, or time-coded transcripts, are full transcripts of your media file with a periodic time stamp. Time stamps are typically placed at every speaker change and sometimes within a speaker’s monologue, but Verbit allows you to select the time stamp frequency to suit your needs.

Production transcripts are helpful for video editors to quickly identify specific moments for editing, saving significant time in post-production. Time-coded transcripts can also be used for interviews, focus groups, depositions, and panel discussion recordings.
