3Play Media, an American company specializing in accessible media solutions, has announced that it is expanding into the professional transcription market, launching a new technology designed to transcribe podcasts for the deaf and heard of hearing community.
With the new technology, the company aims to solve an "immediate gap for podcast producers," which has to do with the high rate of transcription errors currently plaguing the industry. Of course, 3Play Media's new technology is all about making podcasts more accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing community. With the new tool, podcasters will be able to upload audio files to the 3Play platform and receive a high-quality transcript within 24 hours.
"3Play Media has always supported transcription for audio-only files, but this new solution for podcasters represents an entry into an underserved market of podcast creators who’ve been largely left to their own devices to solve their production and publishing workflows," said Josh Miller, co-CEO and co-founder of 3Play Media.
