About 3Play Media

3Play Media was founded by four MIT graduate students. 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 technology. Drawing on research from the MIT Spoken Language Systems Group, we developed a new transcription process that combines automatic speech recognition with human editing cleanup.

Our products and services are used by 200+ happy customers in a wide range of applications, including online video archives, education, market research, conferencing, post production, corporate communications, and recorded events. Although we are a technology company, our highest priority is always customer service. Development of new products, refinement of existing products, and the overall vision of our company are driven by our customers’ needs.

Our offices are based in Cambridge, MA and all of our editors are native English speakers based in the U.S.
