We help the public sector understand video at scale. Every meeting and hearing gets captions, a transcript with speaker names, and chapters, so staff and the public find what was said in seconds. Search years of recordings by topic or speaker, and keep the data in your own cloud or on your own servers.

Who it is for

You should be here if…

  • 01

    You record meetings every weekand nobody can search what was said.

  • 02

    Every recording must be accessibleand captions take hours to write by hand.

  • 03

    Staff review hours of footageto find a few minutes that matter.

  • 04

    The public asks for recordsand finding the right recording is slow.

  • 05

    Your data must stay in your controlon your own cloud or your own servers.

  • 06

    You want publishing on autopilotwith captions and chapters on every recording.

Why the public sector needs it

Councils, parliaments, and agencies record meetings, hearings, and public events every week. The recordings must be accessible, and the public and staff expect to find what was said. Today, that means long videos with no search, and captions that someone adds by hand.

Video Context makes public video searchable and accessible. It writes accurate captions and transcripts with speaker names, splits each recording into chapters, and lets anyone search across years of recordings. It can run on your own infrastructure, so data stays under your control.

How it works

  1. Connect your recordings, or send new ones as they are published.
  2. Video Context transcribes, names speakers, adds chapters, and detects topics.
  3. Staff and the public search by topic, speaker, or date.
  4. Captions and transcripts publish automatically with each recording.

What changes

  • Every recording is accessible, with captions and a transcript.
  • Anyone can find the moment a topic came up.
  • Staff spend less time reviewing footage.
