Fast, reliable content creation and captioning for Media.

Out of the box, Carbon is built for Media. Carbon is a user-friendly speech-to-text content creation platform that cuts production costs and timelines.

Carbon provides self-service content creation for fast editing, search and collaboration, as well as creating orders for verbatim text content.

Speed Media Production and Distribution

Carbon is a media-centric, web-based platform that uses automatic speech-to-text, for self-service delivery of text content within rapid turnaround times. Once an AI-generated transcript has been received, users can edit within the Carbon web application to apply time-code offsets, identify speakers, excerpt key clips, and export their finalized content in a variety of formats. For users that require “full-service, human-generated” content creation, files can be sent to one of our many talented transcriptionists to create a 99% accurate transcript with a click of a button. You choose self-serve, using our powerful AI speech engine, or by traditional human transcription means. VIQ’s best-in-class technical support and evolving automated speech recognition are designed to meet the growing demands of broadcast television and news productions around the world.
