Qumu, a leading provider of cloud-based enterprise video technology, announced the availability of on-demand video transcriptions, as well as AI-enabled, automatic captioning for on-demand video, all from within the Qumu platform. These new functions give users additional options for how they can consume content, driving productivity and enabling them to manage their video libraries more easily.
Asynchronous video transcriptions enable users to easily review video content, speeding knowledge transfer, and helping drive relevant content to the right audiences. The transcriptions make it easy to skim videos for key details, and aid in efforts such as note-taking and preparing for meetings, enabling viewers to review content faster, or to review specific aspects of a video. Transcriptions can also extend the longevity, accessibility and value of videos, and can aid in regulatory compliance, such as meeting transcript requirements for earnings calls.
Qumu also added the option of Qumu-powered automatic captions for on-demand video, backed by AI. Earlie this year, the company introduced the live caption feature. Users can now leverage the same Qumu captioning service used for live videos, without the need to upgrade services.
Andi Mann, chief technology officer, Qumu, said:
“Employees want and deserve technology that makes it easier to work in ways that suits them at every moment of their day, which is why on-demand transcriptions and captions are so important.”
“To us, it’s all about digital flexibility—especially in an era of back-to-back meetings, where employees can feel pressure to conform to everyone’s schedules except their own. Users now have more options for how they consume content, whether it’s watching a video or reading through a pre-brief to prepare for a meeting. Qumu’s helping them be more productive while getting the most out of their content.”
