The platform integrates with EEG Cloud and supports up to 50 simultaneous streams with 99.9%+ uptime.

The business model is a hybrid of subscription, hardware-as-a-service, usage-based, and enterprise licensing. LEXI Text is sold via monthly, block, and power-user subscription tiers; LEXI Recorded is priced at $0.20 per minute; LEXI Voice is priced at $30 per hour per language; encoders are sold or rented via HaaS with a 12-month minimum; and tiered support packages (Essential, Business, Enterprise) add recurring revenue. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales for broadcast, sports, government, and corporate accounts with self-service subscriptions for long-tail customers, backed by AWS and Microsoft hyperscaler partnerships and a global partner program spanning systems integrators and certified caption agencies. The company holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, positioning it for regulated workloads, and its named customer base spans Microsoft, Verizon, Nine Entertainment, Seven West Media, GB News, Discovery, the University of Cambridge, the University of Melbourne, the Portland Trail Blazers, Amagi, Nova Scotia Government, and Human Rights Watch at the UN.

Emerging players

• Speechmatics: Provider of enterprise ASR technology with strong multilingual support. Competes with LEXI Text at the underlying speech recognition layer, especially for customers wanting to integrate ASR into their own broadcast workflows.
• Otter.ai: AI meeting transcription and captioning platform focused on corporate and SMB use cases. Overlaps with Ai-Media's corporate segment but lacks broadcast-grade encoders and live event workflows.
• Deepgram: AI speech recognition API provider targeting enterprise and developer segments. Comparable ASR accuracy to LEXI Text but lacks the broadcast-specific delivery infrastructure (iCap) and encoder hardware ecosystem.
• AppTek: Provider of AI-driven speech recognition, translation, and natural language processing for media and enterprise. Comparable to LEXI Text and LEXI Translate on multilingual ASR and translation technology.

Direct peers

• 3Play Media: Provider of captioning, transcription, and audio description services for broadcast, education, and enterprise. Competes directly with LEXI Recorded and LEXI AD on automated multilingual workflows and accessibility compliance.
• VITAC: Long-established captioning and transcription provider serving broadcast, education, and government. Competes directly with Ai-Media's human captioning and AI captioning services for regulated markets.
• Verbit: AI-powered captioning and transcription platform serving broadcast, legal, education, and enterprise customers. Directly competes with LEXI Text and LEXI Recorded on live and recorded captioning accuracy and pricing.
• Rev.com: AI and human-powered transcription and captioning services for media, legal, and enterprise. Offers comparable recorded captioning at per-minute pricing, overlapping with LEXI Recorded's target market.

Broad incumbents

• Google Cloud Speech-to-Text: Cloud-based ASR service from Google with broad language support. Represents the broad incumbent alternative for enterprise customers evaluating build-vs-buy decisions against LEXI Text.
• Microsoft Azure Speech: Hyperscaler cloud speech-to-text service offering ASR across many languages. Microsoft is also an Ai-Media customer, but Azure Speech competes at the model layer for media customers building in-house captioning.
