How MediaScribe Works

MediaScribe is a hybrid service that combines a hardware interface and cloud-powered AI services to provide an easy to use and flexible workflow. MediaScribe ingests your meeting broadcast via SDI, transcribes the audio, then displays that transcription in a variety of ways. The 3 SDI outputs can be configured for closed captions, open captions, or in-room captions. These signals can be routed through standard AV equipment or converted to HDMI for standard displays. Beyond on-wall displays, the transcriptions can also be viewed on personal mobile devices. All text can be translated into a variety of languages to help keep your residents informed.

In-Room Captions

Create a more accessible meeting environment by displaying live captions on a dedicate screens in your chambers. You can display english or a variety of other  languages to enhance accessibility for your residents. The display can be customized with your logo and branding to match your design aesthetic.

Open Captions

Open captions are displayed over your meeting's live video feed. This is a perfect solution for entryways, hallways, and overflow areas. Open captions allow viewers to see and read what is happening in the chambers without having the sound on the TV.

Closed Captions

Closed captions are the broadcast standard for transmitting text information in a video feed. MediaScribe can insert closed caption data into your video to be used by downstream systems.

Mobile Captions

Mobile captions allow users to view real-time captions directly on their own mobile devices. This provides a personalized and accessible experience during live events or meetings. Residents can simply scan a QR code to bring up the live feed of captions without an app download or special network setups.
