Automatic Sync Technologies

CaptionSync by AST was developed over ten years ago, in collaboration with a team of expert advisers from higher education and with funding from a Small Business Innovation Research grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Today AST’s CaptionSync service is the most cost-efficient, high quality, transcription and automatic captioning service available. We work with you to understand your needs, then employ a smart balance of automation and professional expertise, leveraging leading-edge technology and professional transcribers to provide closed captions, transcripts, and video search data, without the error rates found in speech recognition and crowd-sourcing solutions. The end result is a smarter captioning service. One that is fast, accurate and affordable, and available 24×7. But the benefits of our approach don’t stop there. On top of the important accessibility benefits our transcripts, captions, and subtitles provide many hidden benefits, including in-video search, access to broader audiences, and improved learning outcomes. In short, CaptionSync is the smart way to provide your audiences with even smarter video. Whether your goal is to educate, inform, or inspire, CaptionSync by AST will help you maximize the value of your video assets.
