Today’s economic landscape requires broadcasters and service providers to ensure they are operating with maximum efficiency and captioning is one such function that can be automated to save operational costs.
Making use of cutting edge AI technology, advanced automated speech recognition (ASR) engines such as those provided by Speechmatics, are available and provide a modern solution to this challenge.
However, finding a speech to text engine is only half of the conundrum, for a broadcaster, the next piece of the puzzle is how they can get audio from their transmission chain into the ASR engine, and bring back captions in a sensible, compatible format.
This is where the Busby Captioning Appliance comes in. Built on the proven reliability of Busby, this appliance enables broadcasters to harness the power of AI live captioning, with plug and play compatibility with existing traditional SDI or IP video infrastructure.
