Echo Labs Advanced Captioning and Transcription Technology Solutions to Join Internet2 NET+ Program | https://buff.ly/3X5XF9t Internet2 is excited to announce a new NET+ service offering aligned with ongoing efforts to facilitate the use of services that enhance accessibility in higher education. We have recently signed an agreement with Echo Labs to include its captioning and transcription services in the NET+ Program. Echo Labs has developed cutting-edge, reported 99.8% accurate, affordable ADA-compliant captioning and transcription technologies. This new provisional NET+ service evaluation agreement allows higher education institutions to now leverage Echo Labs technology to make educational content more accessible to students at a fraction of the previous cost. The customer agreement is based on the standard Internet2 NET+ terms and conditions developed over the last several years with input from the higher education community. By adopting this agreement, institutions benefit from custom pricing and promotions not available to direct customers of Echo Labs. NET+ subscribers who sign up will also receive 50 free hours of Echo Labs’s upcoming Audio Descriptions and Live Captioning models upon release.

According to our investors, Echo Labs is now one of the fastest growing ed-tech companies in the world. We just launched Luna, the world’s first AI audio description engine, and are on track to go from 0 to eight figures by EOY all while having a profoundly positive social impact. That’s why I’m looking for an extremely driven AE with higher education experience who wants to join us on the ground level to take over Echo’s Northeast / Midwest territory. Perks - Walking into hundreds of active opportunities worth over 5 million in pipeline - Amazing base, commission, and benefits - Early stage equity with massive upside potential - You will work hand in hand with me which should be a profound life changing experience (or worst case it won’t terrible) If you’re interested or know someone who’d be great for this role you can DM here on LI or email me directly at devin@el.ai. I’ll be leading the hiring process and am deciding on applicants by EOW. I always appreciate people pursuing something they are interested in but in this case please don’t reach out if you don’t have higher Ed sales experience with a focus on video or accessibility.
