Every day, millions of Americans interact with government services – filing permits online, watching city council meetings, checking emergency alerts, reviewing public health guidance. For the more than 70 million Americans living with a disability (per the CDC, roughly 1 in 4 U.S. adults), those interactions hinge on one thing: accessibility.

Closed Captioning Jobs 2026: Companies Hiring + Pay

Finding closed captioning jobs is still very possible today. However, the field no longer works as it did a few years ago. AI-powered software now creates the first draft of most captions in seconds. As a result, many basic captioning jobs have shifted to lower-paying work.

AI legal transcription: 5 benefits of using AI to transform modern legal practice

The Shortage Behind the Shift AI legal transcription isn’t just a technology upgrade. It’s a response to a staffing problem that predates AI entirely. More than 80% of court reporters are 45 or older. Fewer than 300 new reporters enter the field each year against roughly 1,000 retirements, and court reporting program enrollment has dropped 74% since 2015.

Legal proceedings have always adapted to new technology, from typewriters to e-discovery, a shift worth tracing in full.

ASR 101: What is Automatic Speech Recognition and how does it work?

Picture trying to make out a voicemail from a friend who’s driving through a tunnel, the connection breaking up right as they say the important part. All you catch is something that sounds like “anodorasmile.” Was it “a nod or a smile”? “An odor as mile”? Maybe even “an ode or a smile”? Without more context, you’re just guessing.

Educational accessibility in 2026: The key to student success and institutional compliance

More students are asking for accommodations than at any point in higher education’s history, and the number isn’t a blip. Federal data shows college students reporting disabilities have jumped more than 50% over the past decade, and at some schools the shift is staggering: disability registration at Harvard and the University of Chicago climbed from under 3% of students in 2015 to 21% in 2024, while Cornell went from 6% to that same 21%.

The real blocker to AI adoption isn’t trust, it’s control

Most conversations about AI adoption start with the wrong question. “Do you trust the output?” gets asked constantly, in transcription, in captioning, in every corner of enterprise software. Yet across a run of recent conversations that we’ve had spanning education, insurance, legal, and government, the actual sticking point wasn’t accuracy.
