Case Study: DMZ makes webinar content searchable and interactive with Speak AI

DMZ - Customer Case Study

The DMZ (Digital Media Zone) at Ryerson University, a top university-based startup incubator, faced a challenge with its 14-part webinar series. The standard video format made it difficult for viewers to navigate the content, find specific topics, or identify when certain speakers were talking, which reduced the library's overall utility. The organization turned to vendor Speak AI to enhance accessibility and engagement for its audience.

Speak AI provided an interactive media player solution deployed via simple iframe embeds. This solution added searchable transcripts, instant navigation via clickable text, and automatic speaker identification. This transformed the linear webinar series into a searchable, navigable content library, allowing users to find information on their own terms with minimal development effort required from the DMZ team.
