Caption Sensitive Training Video
Without Sending It to the Cloud.
Aviation, rail, healthcare, and media organisations produce high volumes of training and operational video — much of it too sensitive to upload externally. Vosuba captions it all on-device: faster, cheaper, and without touching your data.
What your team actually uses captioning for
Every regulated organisation produces video. Most of it can’t go near a third-party cloud service.
Aviation Safety & Recurrency Training
Cabin crew refreshers, dispatch briefings, incident walkthroughs. Often filmed in secure facilities — cloud upload is a data and security risk. Vosuba captions everything on your own hardware.

Frequently asked questions
Does the European Accessibility Act apply to private companies?
Yes — this is what distinguishes the EAA from the earlier Web Accessibility Directive, which only covered public sector bodies. The EAA (Directive 2019/882) applies to private companies providing covered products and services (transport, banking, e-commerce, audiovisual media, and more) to consumers in the EU. It became enforceable on 28 June 2025. Existing products/services on the market before that date have until 28 June 2030 to comply. Micro-enterprises (<10 employees, <€2M turnover) may be exempt.

Does UK law still mirror EU law post-Brexit?
Not automatically, but the UK has its own equivalent laws that impose comparable obligations. PSBAR 2018 mirrors the Web Accessibility Directive for UK public sector bodies. UK GDPR mirrors EU GDPR. The Equality Act 2010 imposes disability accommodation duties. The UK has not yet enacted a direct equivalent of the EAA for private sector digital services, but the Equality Act's "reasonable adjustment" duties apply to service providers broadly. UK organisations selling into the EU are also subject to the EAA for their EU-facing products and services.
We use Windows across our organisation — does Vosuba work for us?
Vosuba is currently macOS-only (Apple Silicon M1 or later). If your compliance or media team already uses Mac, Vosuba can serve as your dedicated captioning workstation. We are evaluating Windows support — contact us to register interest.
