Quality
Media accessibility solutions that enhance the viewing experience
- According to an Ofcom study, up to 80% of television viewers use closed captions for reasons other than hearing loss.
- A 2021 EGA study of 15,000 media consumers from France, Italy, Germany, and Spain found that 61% of respondents encountered poor localization quality on a monthly basis and 65% stopped what they were watching as a result.
- If you’re an association that presents technical and difficult information, accurate captions can help viewers follow along and improve their comprehension. To guarantee accurate captions, 3Play Media gathers wordlists from customers that specify the correct spelling, identification, and punctuation of technical or uncommon terms.
Great captions, audio description, and subtitles keep your viewers engaged. We make that happen by leveraging a combination of in-house experts, professional contractors, and technology to achieve the quality and accuracy that your content deserves.

Benefits of captioning for associations
Your community members deserve an enjoyable, accessible, and interactive experience when they engage with your content; this includes individuals with disabilities. Captioning your lectures and events greatly benefits your viewers:
Accessibility
16 million adults in the United States live with a disability. By 2050, nearly 2.5 billion people are projected to have some degree of hearing loss. Providing an accessible experience to those who consume your content and attend your events is imperative. Closed captions grant access to individuals with hearing loss and other disabilities to material by allowing them to read the words that are spoken in a video or during a lecture.
Comprehension
Captions and transcripts greatly increase learning comprehension and retention. The ability to simultaneously read and listen reinforces educational content for viewers. A study conducted by Oregon State University found that 75% of students who use captions see them as a learning aid, and 71% of students without hearing difficulties use captions at least some of the time. Read more about the study.
Searchability
Interactive transcripts highlight words as they are being spoken in a video. By typing a term into the search bar, viewers can see every instance of that keyword within the transcript. Clicking on one of the instances of the search term jumps viewers directly to that point in the video. In a survey with MIT’s OpenCourseWare, students shared about their experience with 3Play Media’s interactive transcripts in conjunction with their video lecture courses. When asked to rate the features of our interactive video transcript, 94% of respondents found one or more of our features “useful”. Students used interactive transcripts to learn at their own pace in a multi-sensory mode, improve their comprehension of difficult course material, and more. Learn more about the survey.
