The Pennsylvania State University System
Accessibility Solutions Available Solutions for Penn State
Penn State’s dedicated accessibility team has been working with Verbit (formerly AST) for more than 10 years. Through this partnership, Verbit offers live and post-production captioning and audio description solutions at special pricing for the entire University system.
Verbit’s advanced, proprietary AI technology and professional human transcribers (and a combination of both) provide high quality, accurate captions and transcripts, fast turnaround times and support and integrations for multiple file types and platforms, including YouTube and Kaltura. Our AI-powered solutions help customers unlock the value of speech by capturing their words, extracting additional insights – transcript summaries, keywords, headline suggestions and more – and quickly returning their value to enhance the messages that matter.
Quick Start Guide
Getting started with Verbit is quick and simple. Here are two quick steps to set up your department for post-production captioning and transcription with Verbit:
- Step 1: If you don’t have a Verbit login, complete this account setup form. You’ll get an email back within 48 hours with your account credentials. Please note, there should only be one account per department and you will need your department’s business area and department number to complete the form.
- Step 2: Once you have a Verbit login, visit the login page to access your account. This is a great time to set up the YouTube integration and create any additional users (if applicable).
