Accessibility
ADA Title IICompliant, searchable and yours to keep.
Accessibility isn’t a checkbox you bolt on at the end. It’s built into how Cablecast publishes. Every on-demand program can carry verifiable captions, audio descriptions, translated tracks, chapters, agenda attachments and an AI Smart Summary.

Captioning
Captions, one click into your workflow.
Cablecast Closed Captioning brings automated transcription, an integrated editor and translation right into your cross-platform automation workflow, managed in one mobile-friendly interface.
- Enable captions in one click. Part of your broadcast or streaming workflow, not a separate step.
- Custom vocabularies. Teach it your local names and places for cleaner transcripts.
- Every platform at once. Transcriptions pass to cable, web, streaming apps, and social.
- Live or file-based. Caption live events or run transcription on recorded files.
- Flexible plans & pricing. Sized to your channel and budget.
Caption editor
Fix a caption without leaving Cablecast.
Correct spelling, timing and positioning right in the Cablecast interface, and use find and replace to fix repeated errors in one pass. The editor works on any sidecar file on your server, including captions generated by third-party solutions.
- Fix it in the interface. Correct spelling, timing and positioning without leaving Cablecast.
- Find and replace. Fix repeated errors across a transcript in one pass.
- Works on any sidecar file. Edit captions generated by Cablecast or a third-party solution.
Translation
Reach residents in their own language.
Fully integrated, cloud-based translation, no extra hardware. Add live translated tracks to your cable channel, and translate on-demand programs into dozens more.
- Live in seven languages. English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German and Dutch on your cable channel.
- 72 languages for VOD. On-demand programs reach a far wider audience.
- No extra hardware. Cloud-based transcription and translation, fully integrated.
- Translate any sidecar file. Works on files generated by Cablecast or third-party solutions.
Audio descriptions
Describe what's on screen for viewers who can't see it.
Blind and low-vision residents are part of your community too. A second narrated track describes the on-screen action (who's at the podium, what's on the slide, what the camera is showing) in the natural pauses in dialogue.
- Two ways to create it. Generate narration automatically with MediaScribe Narrate, or upload your own professionally produced track.
- Written into the pauses. Descriptions land in the natural gaps in dialogue, so they never talk over the meeting.
- A track viewers choose. Delivered as a selectable audio track: SAP on the television, a toggle in your web, app and OTT players.
- No separate workflow. Audio description rides the same publishing path as the rest of your program, widening your audience without adding production.

“We go into our show record, check a box to say we want a particular program captioned, and it all happens in the background without a lot of operator attention. The workflow is wonderful, and the captions that come out are surprisingly accurate.”
