Innovative Transcription & Captioning Solutions

What We Do

We provide premium transcription and captioning services at near-perfect accuracy and very competitive prices. Unlike traditional transcripts, our transcripts are time-synchronized word for word. This means that every word is linked back to a precise point in your media. We use this time-text data to create closed captions and subtitles in many different formats and languages. We also develop interactive web-based applications that empower users to search video down to the spoken word and clip sections of video simply by highlighting the text. These capabilities are compatible with our premium translation services and can all be accessed through our flexible APIs, a secure online account system, and partner platforms that have integrated our tools and services.

Who We Serve

We serve more than 200 happy customers across a wide range of applications, including online video archives, education, market research, enterprise search, government, post production, corporate communications, and recorded events. A few of our customers are Procter & Gamble, MIT, the Internal Revenue Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the University of Wisconsin System.

How You Benefit

Our solutions increase the value of your audio and video by making it more usable, searchable, accessible, and SEO-friendly. Customers benefit in different ways. For example, online video publishers benefit from better SEO and user engagement. Educational institutions benefit by complying with accessibility laws, while market researchers and video producers gain powerful productivity tools. We understand that needs vary from customer to customer and we are always focused on implementing the best solution for you.

Who We Are

3Play Media was founded by four MIT alumni drawing on research from the MIT Spoken Language Systems Group. Charged with the task of finding a lecture captioning solution, we discovered that traditional methods are cost-prohibitive while computerized methods are nowhere near adequate. This inspired us to find affordable transcription solutions by leveraging innovative technology.
