About AI Media
In 2003, AI-Media was established in Australia by co-founders Tony Abrahams and Alex Jones. Their shared goal was to improve accessibility for people with disabilities, a mission sparked by Jones' personal experience of being born deaf. The company began its journey by providing captioning services for the pay-TV platform Foxtel. From its early focus on broadcast television, AI-Media expanded its services. The company developed a technology platform that combines artificial intelligence with human input to deliver live and recorded captioning, transcription, and translation. This system converts speech to text for a variety of content, including live streams, events, and meetings. A significant milestone in the company's journey occurred in September 2020, when AI-Media listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The Initial Public Offering (IPO) raised $65.5 million, providing capital that supported the acquisition of five US companies and fueled further global expansion. Today, AI-Media operates internationally, delivering millions of minutes of captioned and translated content every month.
