Gaia: Peace of Mind from a Flexible Captioning Workflow<\/h1>\n\n\n

With 3Play, Gaia has been able to implement a flexible and streamlined captioning workflow. Subscribers depend on the closed captions to understand complex concepts, while the production teams rely on them to craft more content. Captioning has proved to be a vital asset to Gaia\u2019s process, and they take great pride in making their content accessible to all users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Situation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clunky workflows were inefficient at scale<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gaia didn\u2019t have much of a captioning process prior to working with 3Play or software to access their files. They would receive captioning exports, and if there were any issues, they would continuously send it back for corrections until they were satisfied with the output. This created a tedious and inefficient process for Gaia\u2019s large volume of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaia needed a flexible solution to submit and download files, with fast and reliable turnaround times and a high accuracy rate. They required a vendor relationship that was both responsive and supportive. Gaia also needed an intuitive software to access files in one central location and make quick edits when necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
