What it is
Canvas Captions is shorthand for the LTI captioning ecosystem around Canvas LMS. Caption vendors (3Play Media, Verbit, Cielo24, AI-Media, Rev Education) plug in as LTI apps to caption instructor-uploaded video, Canvas Studio recordings, and external embeds.
Watch out for: Not a single vendor — buyers must pick a partner (3Play, Verbit, Cielo24, AI-Media) and price per-minute.
