Case Study: ESC Region 13 improves accessibility and learning with 3Play Media captioning and Brightcove

ESC Region 13 captions 60 districts’ video with 3Play Media and Brightcove in 4 days

ESC Region 13, an educational service center, faced a challenge in making its extensive library of instructional videos accessible after being prompted by the Texas School for the Deaf. They needed a video captioning solution to ensure their content was available to all learners, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing. To address this, they turned to vendor 3Play Media for its captioning service.

By integrating 3Play Media with their existing Brightcove video platform, ESC Region 13 implemented a highly efficient solution. The vendor's service allowed them to simply tag videos in Brightcove to automatically request captions, a process described as "magic." This resulted in a quick turnaround, typically within two to four days, enabling them to caption a terabyte of video monthly. The solution provided greater accessibility, improved searchability through interactive transcripts, and enhanced comprehension for all users.
