• For more critical content, Verbit complements its AI with human editor review to deliver up to 99% targeted accuracy.

• To further improve accuracy, Verbit encourages customers to provide “prep materials” (e.g., speaker lists, spellings and terminology) prior to sessions, which helps the ASR engine adapt for strong accuracy performance.

Yes. Verbit provides captioning users with:

• A generative AI tool, Gen.V to offer automatic insights like summaries and chaptering on top of the captions and transcripts being produced.
• A proprietary Smart Player, which is an interactive video player that lets users search transcripts, create clips, and share content. The player also supports layering other Verbit solutions like extended audio descriptions to enhance engagement and accessibility.

• Share your terminology list or create a custom glossary so that Verbit’s ASR Captivate™ and our team can adapt to your domain-specific vocabulary.
