The digital court reporter: The future of legal transcription and how to join it

Legal proceedings have always adapted to new technology, from typewriters to e-discovery, a shift worth tracing in full. The next chapter is already underway: artificial intelligence is changing how depositions, hearings, and trials get documented, and the digital court reporter is at the center of it.

ASR 101: What is Automatic Speech Recognition and how does it work?

Picture trying to make out a voicemail from a friend who’s driving through a tunnel, the connection breaking up right as they say the important part. All you catch is something that sounds like “anodorasmile.” Was it “a nod or a smile”? “An odor as mile”? Maybe even “an ode or a smile”? Without more context, you’re just guessing.

Accessibility in houses of worship: Your 2026-2027 guide to creating inclusive religious spaces

Picture a longtime congregant sitting in the third pew, watching lips move but missing half the sermon. That’s the moment that started everything at Parkland Chapel, a Bible-teaching church in Farmington, Missouri, and it’s a scene playing out in houses of worship everywhere.

Educational accessibility in 2026: The key to student success and institutional compliance

More students are asking for accommodations than at any point in higher education’s history, and the number isn’t a blip. Federal data shows college students reporting disabilities have jumped more than 50% over the past decade, and at some schools the shift is staggering: disability registration at Harvard and the University of Chicago climbed from under 3% of students in 2015 to 21% in 2024, while Cornell went from 6% to that same 21%.

The real blocker to AI adoption isn’t trust, it’s control

Most conversations about AI adoption start with the wrong question. “Do you trust the output?” gets asked constantly, in transcription, in captioning, in every corner of enterprise software. Yet across a run of recent conversations that we’ve had spanning education, insurance, legal, and government, the actual sticking point wasn’t accuracy.

Audio Search: Why Making Your Video and Audio Content Searchable Matters

Every day, organizations create thousands of hours of valuable audio and video content — from recorded meetings and webinars to lectures, legal proceedings, and broadcast media. Yet most of this content remains locked away, undiscoverable and inaccessible to the people who need it most.

Is Verbit GDPR compliant? What EU-facing education and corporate teams need to know

In short, yes. Verbit meets GDPR requirements for captioning, transcription, and translation work involving personal data belonging to EU residents. That means a signed Data Processing Agreement with every customer, Standard Contractual Clauses governing any international data transfer out of the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, and an appointed Data Protection Officer overseeing the whole thing, not a marketing line, but documented mechanisms you can ask to see.

What is the difference between open and closed captioning?

Open captions and closed captions can look identical on screen, but they work in fundamentally different ways, and the difference matters more than most people realize. Open captions are burned directly into the video file and can never be turned off.

Students want video transcripts more than ever, and they’re no longer optional under ADA Title II

A few years ago, we shared a number that made people stop scrolling: 94.8% of students said they wanted a written transcript alongside every lecture recording and course video on their school’s website or LMS. It was a striking statistic, and it held up.

Committed hours vs. usage-based pricing: How to choose the right captioning or transcription contract

Short answer: Committed-hours contracts mean paying a fixed annual fee for a set number of captioning or transcription hours, whether those hours are for live events or post-production work. They can work well when you know roughly how much captioning or transcription you’ll need and are likely to use most of what you’ve committed to.

Speech recognition technology in 2026: Why enterprise solutions beat Google’s consumer tools

Speech recognition technology has transformed dramatically in 2026 with new benchmarking standards and enterprise-grade solutions that far exceed what consumer platforms can deliver. While over 71% of people prefer conducting voice searches over typing queries, the technology powering these interactions varies significantly in accuracy, reliability, and suitability for business applications.
