Case Study: SPIE Makes Thousands of Hours of Video Searchable and Accessible with 3Play Media

SPIE makes thousands of hours of video searchable and accessible with 3Play Media

SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, faced the challenge of making thousands of hours of scientific conference video recordings more searchable and accessible. Researchers and librarians needed better ways to locate specific content, and SPIE wanted to serve users with hearing disabilities or those learning English. To address this, they partnered with vendor 3Play Media for transcription and closed captioning services.

By implementing 3Play Media's accurate transcription service, along with their Interactive Transcript and Video Search plugins, SPIE made its entire video library fully searchable and accessible. The solution provided 99% accuracy for complex technical content. As a result, SPIE now offers thousands of hours of enhanced video resources, with users reporting significantly improved research efficiency and a more valuable product overall due to the capabilities provided by 3Play Media.
