Captivate™ is Verbit’s proprietary, domain-trained automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology uniquely designed to deliver high-accuracy transcription, captioning, and speech-to-text services for real-world applications. Unlike generic ASR, Captivate adapts to your content, your terminology, and your workflows. You’ll notice improvements and greater efficiency with each use of our tailored, AI-driven speech recognition.
Ready for ASR that fits your needs?
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) converts spoken language into written text using AI, natural language processing, and statistical models. Captivate™ takes speech-to-text further by applying dynamic domain training, customized vocabularies, and industry-specific language models to achieve far higher transcription accuracy than one-size-fits-all ASR tools. Captivate is the engine behind Verbit’s full suite of speech technologies including real-time captioning, post-production transcripts, and more.
