Automate Accuracy: Introducing Akta’s Gemini-Powered Transcription & Subtitle Generation
Manual captioning is slow, costly, and far from anyone’s favorite task. Yet for today’s broadcasters and streaming operators, accurate transcriptions and subtitles are essential—driven by accessibility standards, multilingual audiences, and the need for better search visibility.
With Akta’s latest AI-First approach, powered by Gemini AI, you can now generate on-demand transcriptions and subtitles for every video—across both new uploads and your complete back catalog—directly within the Akta platform.
Why Accurate Transcription Matters for Broadcasters
From compliance to content discovery, accurate transcription touches every stage of a modern media workflow.
- Accessibility & Compliance: Regulations from the ADA and FCC make captions a must for broadcast and streaming operations. Automated transcription ensures compliance without manual bottlenecks or penalty risk.
- Discoverability & Metadata: By generating transcripts, your dialogue becomes searchable text—making it indexable by search engines and enabling AI-driven metadata enrichment inside Akta.
- Audience Reach: Subtitles expand your content’s accessibility to global audiences. Viewers expect captioned content across platforms, and subtitles help boost watch time across regions, languages, and devices.
- Operational Efficiency: Adding subtitles early in your workflow eliminates costly retrofitting later.
Introducing Akta’s AI-First Transcription and Subtitles
Within Akta’s unified video platform, broadcasters can now automatically convert speech to text for both live and on-demand content. Whether you’re processing newly uploaded assets or an existing library, Akta’s Gemini-powered transcription engine makes it seamless.
Once transcriptions are complete, subtitles are automatically generated in SRT and WebVTT formats—ready for playout, compliance, or global distribution. AI-extracted text can also enhance search, recommendation, and scheduling metadata, allowing editors and content teams to work faster and smarter.
