Verbit

Verbit operates a verbal intelligence platform combining proprietary automatic speech recognition (ASR) with a network of professional human transcribers. It sells transcription, captioning, translation, and audio description services primarily to legal, media, education, and corporate clients. The hybrid model aims to deliver higher accuracy than fully automated tools while keeping costs below traditional human-only services.

Verbit’s website highlights industry-specific solution suites — such as Legal Visor for attorneys and Campus Complete for universities — suggesting a direct enterprise sales motion targeting compliance and accessibility leaders. It claims over 3,000 clients and emphasizes integrations with existing learning management systems, video platforms, and case management tools to embed its services into client workflows.

Verbit is a venture-backed operating company. Its website names investors including Jai Das (Sapphire Ventures), Daniel Shinar (Third Point Ventures), and Jasper Masemann. The firm had raised a total of over $550 million in disclosed equity funding through 2022 (per TechCrunch, 2022). It does not disclose any ties to a family office structure.

Verbit’s Captivate ASR engine can be pre-trained on a client’s specific industry terminology and allows pre-loading of custom terms before each session. The output is then reviewed by a distributed human editing workforce, a step that generic AI tools lack. This human-in-the-loop review is positioned as essential for meeting the accuracy requirements of courtrooms, live broadcasts, and ADA-mandated educational settings.

Verbit’s platform is built to support compliance with accessibility regulations, including ADA Title II, FCC closed captioning requirements, Ofcom mandates, WCAG, and Section 508. Its website positions these regulatory drivers as a core part of the value proposition for its education, government, and media clients.
