Why it matters for content creators

Verbit’s self-service platform is designed to provide the best captions for content creators, producers and individuals that work in the media industry.

Speed and convenience
Need a transcript now? With self-serve transcription, there’s no waiting for email confirmations or extended timelines. Verbit’s self-service platform, for instance, offers fast turnaround with accurate results, allowing you to focus on editing, publishing or repurposing content without delay.

More accessible content
Adding transcripts to your content makes it more inclusive for individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing — and it’s often legally required. Verbit’s platform supports captioning as well, ensuring your videos and podcasts meet ADA and WCAG accessibility guidelines with ease.

SEO boosts and discoverability
Text transcripts are a goldmine for SEO. Search engines can’t “watch” or “listen,” but they can crawl transcripts. By making your content searchable and indexable, transcription helps attract a larger audience organically. Verbit’s transcripts are formatted for easy export, making it simple to plug them into websites or blog posts.

Content repurposing
A transcript can be transformed into social media posts, blog articles, newsletters and more. Verbit’s self-service solution lets you export files in multiple formats, giving creators more ways to stretch their content further and get more ROI on each piece of media.

Affordability and control
Self-service platforms are typically more budget-friendly and flexible than traditional transcription services. Verbit’s platform offers competitive pricing and scalable options, making it a go-to solution for creators who want quality without the high price tag or commitment.
