Ready to make your content accessible to everyone? Phrase can simplify the process
Video drives global communication, but accessibility gaps can hold you back. Missing transcripts, subtitles, or translations make content invisible to key audiences. Complex language adds another barrier, limiting engagement and reach.
With Phrase, you can make every piece of content accessible and inclusive. Automate transcripts, streamline subtitling, and deliver multilingual video experiences that connect with every viewer, no matter their language.

accessibility requirements without manual cleanup.

Create clear, timed subtitles in one click. Subtitle blocks are automatically
segmented and time-coded, with an intuitive editor to adjust layout and flow
for full accessibility.

with high-quality output tailored to your brand.
