About Us
ENCO has been a world-class provider of technology for the broadcast, audio, and video industries for over 30 years.
In 1983, after seeing the challenges that television and radio broadcasters encountered daily, ENCO was born to help automate their production processes.
ENCO adopted the concepts of computer-controlled automation found in high-tech factories worldwide and applied them to broadcasting. In 1991, we poured every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears into the first digital audio delivery system, DAD. DAD replaced error-prone manual CART systems commonly used to sequence and play audio content. DAD has increased flexibility and productivity for broadcasters and enabled trouble-free automated formats that can run for an hour or for days without intervention.
In 2005, we applied our innovative approach to Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) technology, and enCaption a live automated captioning solution was born. enCaption offers an easy and affordable option to provide an around-the-clock generation of captions for live or recorded programming. Still, this wasn’t enough, so we drove to improve the functionality of enCaption. When used alongside enTranslate, enCaption can provide real-time translated captions in 27 different languages.
Other innovations in our history include harnessing our DAD platform to address the layout automation needs of video broadcasting with ClipFire. Further, our HotShot instant audio playout system added enterprise-level logging and reporting features, making it the preferred choice of some of the world’s largest sports broadcast networks, mobile production fleets, and big-league venues.
As a result, enCaption, DAD, ClipFire, and HotShot have been recognized continuously for the functionality, accuracy, interoperability, and flexibility that broadcasters, AV professionals, event managers, and engineers crave in their day-to-day operations.
In July of 2022, in response to the increasing need of an on-premises option for advanced translation of live Spanish-language, ENCO acquired TranslateTV (TTV) and Sentinel Solutions. This strategic move enabled new business opportunities with customers who prefer to host their own systems and remain independent of the cloud. TTV’s proven technology has helped to pave the way for open captioning of meetings, classes, worship services and other AV-related events.
Continuously pushing forward, ENCO acquired RUSHWORKS January 1, 2023. The acquisition came about to help increase the number of products that ENCO and RUSHWORKS have access to. Plus, with the combined over 100 years of knowledge between the two companies, we are excited to take our products, services, and knowledge to the next step.
