Qumu Introduces AI-Powered Live Captioning for Enterprise Video
April 21 2021 - 9:15AM
Business Wire
Qumu Corporation (Nasdaq: QUMU), a leading provider of
cloud-based enterprise video technology, today announced the
development and release of its live captioning capabilities. The
new release of Qumu Cloud provides artificial intelligence
(AI)-based translation of voice to on-screen captions for video
viewers. Developed by Qumu’s cloud engineering team, it is
available to all Qumu customers and included in the license
subscription.
The use of live and on-demand video continues to dominate as a
communication tool, as many companies plan for long-term hybrid and
remote work models. Enterprise video has become essential in how
organizations engage internally and externally to rapidly drive
business forward. Whether it’s a quick good morning video going
live to employees, a presentation to 2,000 vaccination volunteers,
or a new product rollout to tens of thousands of partners, Qumu’s
new live captioning is designed from the ground up to enable
reliable, scalable hosting of virtual events of any size.
“Captioning is now an expectation for viewers of live video,”
said Henry Clout, chief architect for Qumu Cloud. “With this
foremost in our minds, we’ve worked hard to engineer a service that
ensures live captions are always available to our customers and
their end users. Requiring no switches, configuration or custom
plugins, supporting any input source, and with the ability to scale
in real-time, our machine learning-based system is built to be
relied upon.”
The feature is currently available in two languages – English
and Japanese – with the plan to quickly expand to additional
languages. Qumu’s on-demand, or asynchronous, captioning remains
available in over 25 languages.
Qumu’s live captioning is immediately available as part of the
Qumu offering, without the need to upgrade or add on services. To
maintain top standards, Qumu is working closely with customers,
including a national pharmacy and COVID-19 vaccine administer, to
improve the accuracy, viewing and user experience with multiple
upgrades planned throughout the year.
