VZP Digital

04/27/2026

We received a lot of questions all week around NAB, so here are the answers 👇

1. Can VZP Reach connect to our existing encoder?

Yes. VZP Reach connects to virtually any encoder, including EEG Evertz, Link Electronics, and more.

You’re not locked into one system, which means more flexibility, fewer costly upgrades, and a solution that evolves with you.

2. Why do you offer multiple AI engines?

Because no two events are the same, and neither are AI models.

We match the right engine to the environment to improve accuracy, performance, and overall accessibility, not just compliance.

3. Do you use human captioners or is it all AI?

BOTH

We support human, AI, and hybrid solutions, keeping humans in the loop where it matters most for accuracy, nuance, and quality.

4. Can users access captions on any device?

Yes.

If your audience has a phone, tablet, or laptop, they have access. No special equipment required, just seamless, real-time accessibility.

5. What makes VZP different?

We also don’t just follow the industry, we help shape it. VZP Digital holds the patent for on-demand captions and translation (U.S. Patent No. 11,244,368).

Our client relationships speak for themselves. We’re not talking about clients who stay for a year, we’re talking about partners who have been with us for years, many since the very beginning. That kind of longevity says everything about the quality, consistency, and trust behind what we provide.

We grow where we’re needed.

As demand increases, especially with upcoming DOJ accessibility regulations, we’re expanding beyond services and offering training courses to help organizations build sustainable, internal accessibility practices.

Because a company like ours isn’t just about providing a service, it’s about creating long-term, scalable access.

Accessibility isn’t just about checking a box, it’s about creating real access for everyone.

If you didn’t get a chance to connect with us at NAB, let’s change that.

REACH out.

Accessibility is a process that requires flexibility at every turn, it is not a straight path.

That’s why the technology behind it matters so much. If a solution locks you into one engine, you’re limiting your ability to adapt.

If you’re heading to NAB this weekend, here’s a simple question to ask:

👉 “Can this support multiple engines, or am I locked into just one?”

Because accessibility done right means having options.

Right side features VZP Reach logo interface with text: “No Vendor Lock-In and a drop down menu with Multi-Engine Flexibility, Scalable Across Environments, Optimized for Your Content, Smarter AI.”

The rise of AI-driven ADA lawsuits is something organizations can’t afford to ignore, especially with new accessibility regulations on the horizon.

What does this mean for your organization?

It means accessibility is no longer just best practice, it’s becoming a business imperative. Proactive compliance, clear workflows, and internal training will be key to reducing risk and staying ahead.

The organizations that invest in accessibility now won’t just avoid legal exposure, they’ll create more inclusive, future-ready experiences for everyone.
