Overview

Posting lectures online makes them available to students for review and improved accessibility throughout the term. The benefits are increased exponentially when lecture videos include captions or a transcript file, as it allows students to interact with the content in both an audio and written format. There are a number of ways to add captions to a video to increase it's accessibility, outlined below.

TechSmith Relay

Captions can be added to videos produced on TechSmith Relay by:

  • Select the video to which you would like to add captions.
  • Click the CC icon displayed underneath the video.

    • You can choose "Generate Captions" or "Create Captions Manually". 

    Note
    titleProblems with Auto-generated Captions
    Note: If you choose to have captions auto-generated, you may want to proof-read the captions and check them for accuracy.

    Panopto

    Automated Speech Recognition captions can be generated by Panopto for your videos.  Depending on the length of your video, your captions may appear in 8 hours or less or if your video is an hour or more in length, it may take 24 hours or more to generate the captions.  These captions should be reviewed for clarity and context.
