Multimedia’s role in research, teaching, and learning is expanding. However, managing that content can be expensive and complex. We’ve created audio and video services to meet the challenges you face.

We promise to help you empower your students, faculty, researchers, and archivists to succeed with access to valuable audio and video content. These services offer affordable, scalable storage options, and leverage advanced technologies to generate transcripts that you can download, edit, and make your own.

Captions and transcripts are vital for inclusive education

Captions and transcripts aren’t just accessibility tools—they’re key to fostering a more inclusive academic environment. As multimedia content becomes increasingly integral to modern learning, captions and transcripts ensure that all students, regardless of need or learning preference, can engage fully and benefit from the educational experience.

All of this supports our nonprofit mission to expand global access to knowledge and education.

Through decades of offering trusted nonprofit resources like JSTOR and Portico, ITHAKA offers a suite of services that enable you to make your collections discoverable and free of paywalls to a global community of faculty, students, and researchers, and to ensure your content remains accessible for generations to come.
