Customer Support

“I rely heavily on 3Play Media for my transcription needs. I have always been impressed with the quality of their work and even more impressed with their customer service, which is top notch. I highly recommend this company.” Cate Reavis, MIT

“Working with 3Play Media has been an ease and a joy. As a person who deals with technology, I do not look for a perfect service or product because I don't think such a thing exists. What's important is the customer service you get, and 3Play just plain rocks when it comes to helping out. In terms of tech, they are cutting edge and have a great UI for editing captions on the fly.” Josh Harder, University of Wisconsin
