AI Media
Trusted by the world’s leading brands, AI Media’s vertically integrated solutions enable you to caption or translate anything – from breaking news and live sports, to lectures and stadium displays.
AI Media allows users to:
- Provide inclusive education experiences regardless of language or hearing barriers;
- Exceed accessibility requirements
AI elements
The AI components within AI media elevate the user experience by using speech-to-text algorithms that can convert spoken text, providing real-time captions. Additionally, noise filtering distinguishes between speech and background noise to ensure the captions are more accurate.

-
Maximise accessibility
Access to video content – captions and transcripts to maximise student accessibility of multimedia content (with Kaltura Reach or Ai-Media services)
As a teacher I can ensure my multimedia resources have captions and transcripts so students can choose how they review the resources.
My students can use captions or transcripts to have alternative access to content in multimedia resources.
Example practice considerations when aiming for accessibility of video content:
- Automated captions for DeakinAir video and multimedia:
- Kaltura Reach uses automated speech recognition to generate captions for DeakinAir multimedia resources
- captions can be added to any resource that has been created using DeakinAir or uploaded to DeakinAir
- captions can be edited to correct inadvertent errors.
- Human-generated captions and transcripts can be requested through Ai Media for DeakinAir (or DeakinVideo) multimedia resources
- Captions and transcripts aim for all students to have equal access to multimedia resources. Through meeting this accessibility requirement, it allows all students to choose how they interact with their resources.
- Maximise accessibility
Maximise accessibility via tool choices – accessibility is always evolving
As a teacher I can choose tools and features that help maximise accessibility now, and keep an eye to the future for teaching tools that show promise in improving their accessibility features.
My students will progressively have better access to their learning due to continuous digital tool improvements.
Example practice considerations for continuous improvements in accessibility of learning and assessment content:
- When you have a choice of digital tools, consider at the time which one offers more accessibility given current needs (this is an evolving area, so one tool with better accessibility features today, may be surpassed tomorrow).
- Sometimes you might compare specific accessibility features between tools, e.g. which videoconferencing tool provides more reliable captioning on recordings.
- Some tools offer templates designed to maximise accessibility, e.g. Padlet. Take care not to alter key features within a template, as you might inadvertently reduce the accessibility.
