Ziotag for Accessible Learning and Workplace Training
Ziotag helps schools and workplaces make video content easier to access, understand, search, and use — especially for people with vision, hearing, and learning disabilities.
Today, organizations rely heavily on video for education, training, onboarding, professional development, compliance, meetings, lectures, and knowledge sharing. But long videos are often difficult to navigate, especially for people who need alternative ways to consume information. Ziotag solves this by transforming videos into structured, searchable, accessible learning assets.
What Ziotag Does?
- Ziotag uses AI to analyze video and audio content and create:
1. A searchable transcript
Users can search the full spoken content of a video and jump directly to the exact moment where a topic is discussed.
2. A table of contents for video
Ziotag automatically creates chapters, subchapters, titles, summaries, key concepts, and timestamps, making long videos easier to scan and understand.
3. Captions and transcript support
For people with hearing disabilities, Ziotag helps make video content readable and easier to review without relying only on audio.
4. Structured summaries and notes
ZioNotes turns a video into a readable outline that can be printed, shared, reviewed, or used as a study guide.
5. Interactive Q&A with ZioBot
Users can ask questions about the video and receive answers based on the content, helping learners and employees find what they need faster.
6. Benefits for People with Disabilities
For people with hearing disabilities, Ziotag provides text-based access through captions, transcripts, summaries, and searchable content. For people with vision disabilities, Ziotag makes video information easier to access through structured text, screen-reader-friendly summaries, searchable chapters, and direct navigation. For people with learning disabilities, Ziotag reduces cognitive load by breaking long videos into smaller sections, highlighting key ideas, and providing clear summaries and study notes.
Use in Schools
Schools can use Ziotag to make lectures, recorded classes, tutorials, training videos, and educational media more accessible. Students can quickly find important topics, review material at their own pace, and use ZioNotes as a study guide.
Use in Workplaces
Employers can use Ziotag for employee training, onboarding, HR videos, compliance courses, product training, recorded meetings, and professional development. Employees can search video libraries, revisit specific sections, and access information in formats that match their needs.
Why It Matters
Ziotag helps organizations move beyond simply posting videos online. It makes video content more inclusive, more useful, and easier to consume for everyone. Ziotag makes video accessible, searchable, and actionable — helping schools and workplaces support people with vision, hearing, and learning disabilities while improving the experience for all learners and employee
