🗣️"We can happily recommend the service."

SAVE Britain’s Heritage (SAVE) is a campaign group for endangered historic buildings.

As part of spreading the word, they host events to draw attention to buildings at risk.

VoiceBox provided remote human live captions for their full-day conference and panel sessions.

Stephen Sheriff, Creative Producer, said: “We were really pleased with how VoiceBox helped deliver remote live captions for our conference. It was a great success.

“Even working remotely, the live captions were supplied brilliantly and helped make the event accessible to so many more people.

“VoiceBox explained all about remote live captioning for events to help us fully understand the process. They also sent us the transcript from the event. We can happily recommend the service.”

Even though the deadline has passed, our work here isn't done.

Yes, we'll stop reminding you of the EAA. However, we won't stop reminding you to be more accessible if you can.

Remember, you can always book a free consultation with us to discuss your current offering and ways you can be more accessibility-friendly.

ICYMI:

It’s come around so quickly. Now, 28 June is just around the corner.

You know you've been working with a client FOREVER when you have to update the case study.

Six years we've now been teamed up with Megger.

Back in February 2019, they turned to our team for a voiceover project to test if removing the London premium that Megger was being charged by existing agencies, compromised the quality of the product.

Neil Crook, Media Producer and Editor at Megger, was delighted with the outcome and here we are still working together regularly.

Recently, our work has included a large subtitling and voiceover project for Megger into 10 languages. This comprised two videos – one a promo video, the other a how-to-install video for marketing and selling purposes across Europe.

In general, Megger leans on VoiceBox for lots of multilingual subtitles and voiceovers for internal videos, particularly for staff whose first language isn’t English.

Neil said: “I’ve been using VoiceBox for over six years now, and I can honestly say their service is unbeatable. From voiceovers to subtitles and script translations, they’ve nailed it every single time.

“After 10 years working in London with various recording services, I can confidently say that VoiceBox stands out head and shoulders above the rest.

“The turnaround is always super quick, which is crucial for us with tight deadlines. Their selection of voiceover artists has never let me down, so we can always find the perfect voice for whatever project we’re working on. Whether we need a specific tone or language, VoiceBox has us covered.

“What really stands out though is their customer service. Everyone I’ve dealt with has been incredibly polite, professional, a particular shout out to Sophie Muller, Ffion Jenkins and Mohanned Khallof. They’re just all-around kind lovely people. They’re always available to chat and are so willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything’s perfect.

“Honestly, I wouldn’t think of using anyone else. VoiceBox is my go-to, and I can’t recommend them enough.”

This July, we’re celebrating Disability Pride Month! ♥️

Disability Pride Month began in Boston in 1990, the same year the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into US law. Since then, the movement has grown across the globe with events, marches and conversations helping to amplify disabled voices.

Why does it matter?

- Scope has found that 3 in 4 disabled people say they've faced negative attitudes
- Harmful stereotypes and underrepresentation remain far too common

At VoiceBox, we stand with the disabled community, not just in July but every month. We’re committed to amplifying disabled voices, challenging stigma and helping organisations in creating inclusive spaces that reflect real, lived experience.

Yes, the EAA deadline means we will now be posting about it less!

However, we won't stop pushing for businesses to be more accessible to more people. 😅

Remember, accessibility is a sliding scale.

More is always better than less.

160 years ago today, the army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in Texas were free by executive order.

Today marks Juneteenth, the commemoration of the end of slavery in the U.S.

Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021, but has been celebrated much longer. So what is the history behind Juneteenth, and why do we celebrate it? WCCO'...
