Verbit

Verbit is a cloud-based platform for transcription, captioning and speech-derived content workflows. It combines automatic speech recognition through Captivate with optional human review for selected services.

The platform supports live and recorded media. Common outputs include transcripts, captions, subtitles, translations, audio descriptions and dubbed audio. Its Gen.V tools can generate summaries, chapters, keywords, quizzes and suggested headlines from transcript assets.

Verbit serves education, legal, government, media, corporate and research workflows. It also provides accessibility-focused services for organizations managing ADA, WCAG, Section 508 or broadcast captioning requirements.

Verbit supports automatic transcription for audio and video files, live captioning, post-production captioning and searchable transcript workflows. Users can request AI-only or human-reviewed services, depending on the product and plan.

Its Captivate technology supports domain-specific terminology, customer dictionaries, speaker identification and caption formatting. Gen.V adds transcript-based summaries, chaptering, keywords, quizzes and headline suggestions.

Additional capabilities include multilingual translation, subtitles, audio description, dubbing, note taking, transcript search, annotations, access controls and reporting. Supported caption formats include SRT, VTT, SCC, SAMI and related broadcast formats.

Verbit lists integrations with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Canvas, Canvas Studio, Kaltura, Panopto, Vimeo, YouTube, Brightcove, AWS, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Cvent, Frame.io, Mux, Wistia and other platforms. Custom integrations and API access are available through higher-tier plans.

The documented API includes Insights, Live Booking, Search, Caption Control and Post-Production endpoints. Authentication uses API credentials and bearer tokens, with OAuth 2.0 documented for the platform APIs.

Verbit’s public pricing page lists a Standard plan starting at $24 per month. The plan includes 100 hours per month, with 50 live hours and 50 post-production hours, plus AI transcription, captioning, translation and basic live integrations.

The Standard plan lists support for English transcription, translation in more than 28 languages, Gen.V insights, email and chat support, secure cloud storage and one user. Human review is available as an upgrade.

Custom plans use quote-based pricing. They add broader product access, multiple users, implementation assistance, custom integrations, API access, human review options and dedicated support.

Verbit’s self-service page advertises a five-day free trial. Capterra’s enterprise-oriented profile states that a free trial is not available, so trial eligibility depends on the purchasing route.
