3Play Media

3Play Media provides closed captioning, transcription, translation, and audio description to more than 2,000 customers in higher education, media & entertainment, enterprise, and government. 3Play Media simplifies the process through flexible APIs, video platform integrations, and a user-friendly account system. Mission: 3Play Media was founded in 2007 by four MIT graduate students researching affordable ways to make video accessible through innovative technology. Drawing on research from the MIT Spoken Language Systems Group, we developed a more efficient captioning and transcription process that combines automatic speech recognition with human editing cleanup. Our commitment to innovation has led to 7 patents (granted and pending).
