Vimeo and Rev Partner to Make Video Accessible
21 Juni 2023 - 3:00PM
Rev, the world’s most accurate speech-to-text platform, announced
its partnership with Vimeo, the leading all-in-one video solution,
to be its caption and global subtitle provider. This is a landmark
integration that will automatically create accessible, searchable
videos for all users, and allow them to meet compliance standards
right from within the Vimeo hub. Pairing powerful AI with human
expertise, Rev has pioneered the reduction of bias in AI across
languages, dialects and genders. This universal accuracy makes Rev
the right partner to expand Vimeo’s reach to a diverse, global
audience.
The partnership comes at a critical time when video
is booming and captions are the new norm. With nearly 1 in 20 U.S.
adults having some level of difficulty hearing, captions are not
only crucial for accessibility, but equally necessary to meet the
demands of the changing viewer. In a recent study, more than 70
percent of Gen Z and half of Millennials reported using subtitles
frequently. The rules have changed: People no longer watch videos
without captions, they just keep scrolling.
“Vimeo has redefined storytelling, making it easy
for anyone to tell great stories,” said Jason Chicola, CEO, Rev.
“With Rev, those stories can reach the world. We are committed to
delivering the most accurate captions in every language, advancing
our mission to understand the human voice.”
Investing in unbiased technology that represents
all voices accurately is a priority for Vimeo with its global
audience of nearly 300 million users. Unlike any other speech
engine, Rev has spent a decade training its model on millions of
hours of diverse, real-world data. Combined with thousands of human
transcriptionists who in real-time edit the model’s output for
near-perfect accuracy, Rev has proactively reduced bias for gender,
ethnicity, languages and backgrounds. The result is unmatched
accuracy across a spectrum of voices, empowering Vimeo’s creators
to reach a limitless audience, and meet ADA and FCC video
compliance standards.
“We’ve built the leading platform for elevating
human expression,” said Ashraf Alkarmi, CPO at Vimeo, 2023 Fast
Company’s World’s Most Innovative Company. “We continue to advance
this mission by providing a seamless experience for storytellers to
create meaningful videos that drive engagement and connection. As
we continue to enhance our product for a global audience, partners
that uphold standards as Rev does with unbiased accuracy are
pivotal to us surpassing what’s possible for Vimeo.”
Rev is powering auto-captions for Vimeo’s
half-million VOD and live videos daily, an integration that will
automatically create accessible, searchable videos. To achieve
compliance, users can upgrade to 99% accurate videos, or add global
subtitles in 17+ languages without ever leaving Vimeo.
Additionally, Rev users can upload captioned videos directly to
Vimeo, its video platform of choice. This seamless experience
exceeds creator demands for quality and speed, delivering
human-edited captions within 24 hours and automatic captions in
minutes. Learn more about how to create globally accessible videos
