[Ohiodig] [EXTERNAL] Captioning offer from Echo Labs?

[Nicholas A Pavlik]

Hi Jen,

Yep, I received this as well; I just deleted it, as I often do vendor emails. I hadn’t heard of them before, and honestly can’t tell whether they’re legit (which isn’t good for a vendor), so I’m just assuming they’re not until proven otherwise!

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Ohiodig] Captioning offer from Echo Labs?

Hi all,
Several of us at KSL have recently received several emails (excerpt below) from individuals at Echo Labs inquiring about our interest in using free ADA captioning hours that they are offering to institutions in Ohio.

Message from Echo Labs:
"we’ve been running a grant program in Ohio that provides free ADA captioning hours to schools to use on their educational, media, and library backlogs. After working with other schools in the state (OSU, Ashland, Wright State), we have about 600 minutes (100 hours) left to offer a few campuses in the area."

Their persistence and some of our quick investigation raises some red flags, so I just thought I'd check to see if anyone else has experience with this vendor?  Feel free to respond to me directly.

Many thanks!
Jen
