LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y., Sept. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SyncWords, an industry leading cloud-based video accessibility platform provider for automated captioning and subtitling tools, announced today that its solution is now available on Microsoft Azure and uses Azure Cognitive services. This solution will make it easier for media organizations to add automated captioning and subtitling to their video processing workflows on Azure.
By using Azure, SyncWords customers will see a significant increase in accuracy of automatic speech recognition and translation. In addition, Azure storage will provide a higher level of flexibility, compliance, and efficiency when processing their media.
