A question we hear constantly from organizations managing large video libraries: "We need a way to measure the accuracy and consistency of captions across our library of training videos. They've been created by folks across the organization, so quality varies. Does anyone use a tool for this?"

The short answer: yes, and Recap has it built in. Here's how Word Error Rate tooling works and why it matters when caption quality varies across your team.

Higher education institutions face increasing obligations under ADA Title II and the European Accessibility Act to ensure all digital content, including extensive video libraries, is accessible. A primary challenge is understanding the current state of video captioning compliance. This article underscores the necessity of comprehensive third-party caption audits; assessing both the presence and quality of captions against benchmarks like the Described and Captioned Media Program (DCMP) guidelines. Such audits provide institutions with detailed reports on non-compliant video assets and estimated remediation needs, forming the foundation for strategic accessibility initiatives and informed budgetary decisions.
