Multimedia’s role in research, teaching, and learning is expanding. However, managing that content can be expensive and complex. We’ve created an audio and video service 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. This service offers 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.

Available with ITHAKA’s suite of services, our affordable, flexible, and easy-to-use audio and video offering allows you to:

  • Boost discoverability of your special collections
  • Select scalable storage options tailored to your institution’s needs
  • Manage and share audio and/or video content with a global audience
  • Leverage advanced technologies to generate editable transcripts
  • Preserve valuable content into the future with transcripts and captions

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