Case Study: MIT Libraries makes video interviews searchable and interactive with 3Play Media

MIT Libraries makes nearly 300 hours of interviews searchable with 3Play Media

The customer, MIT Libraries, needed to make its extensive MIT150 Infinite History Project video archive searchable and accessible for individuals with hearing disabilities. They partnered with the vendor 3Play Media for transcription and an interactive video solution to enable deep content discovery across hundreds of interview videos.

3Play Media provided the transcription and implemented an innovative, searchable video interface. This solution allowed users to click on any word in a transcript to jump to that point in a video and to search across the entire collection, with results displayed on interactive timelines. The project was highly successful, creating an invaluable research tool for navigating nearly 300 hours of content. MIT Libraries praised 3Play Media for being responsive, innovative, and for providing the critical technology behind the website.
