Case Study: WISH-TV

WISH-TV is a proud affiliate of The CW Network and delivers the latest breaking news under out News 8 brand. Their owner, Circle City Broadcasting, also owns and operates MyNetworkTV affiliate WNDY-TV ("MyINDY-TV 23"), which provides around-the-clock entertainment, sports and local interest programming to central Indiana viewers. *enCaption4 has enabled us to expand our closed captioning to nearly everything we do. Having a machine that can handle all of our captioning needs is like a dream come true. I'm impressed with how far the technology has come over the years, specifically enCaption4. We had long hoped that someone would offer speech-to-text capabilities that work accurately enough for our on-air needs, so we could just hit a button and have it work. ENCO has done that with enCaption4.

No Training Required, Improves Over Time

This is not an ENR/prompter based system nor is it a re-speaking system requiring live personnel to operate. Linking enCaption to your electronic newsroom system allows it to automatically access current and historical script information to build a local dictionary which allows the system to improve accuracy over time. Custom packaging can be configured to recognize a station’s specific set of words. Configure separate packages for different programs, weather, sports, political, religious and more.

NDI® Compatible

For the first time, broadcasters, content producers and commercial AV facilities with an NDI® infrastructure can add an automated captioning solution into their workflows. Once connected, enCaption will automatically generate captions through its NDI® input stream and output an NDI® signal with captions keyed directly on top of the video stream.
