Verbit targets 99% accuracy levels and offers options for human review or full human transcription based on your needs.

What kinds of events can Venue Live support?

How does Venue Live help with accessibility compliance?

Real‑time captions, transcripts, and live translations support accessibility initiatives such as the need to reach Section 508 and ADA compliance (Americans with Disabilities Act) – which has greater Title II requirements as of April 2026. Venue Live’s live event captioning technology also promotes inclusive communication standards for live audiences with disabilities, and others who simply grasp information better when presented with captions and transcripts as additional visual cues. Accessible live events are no longer a “nice-to-have,” but a must for compliance in many scenarios.
