Create Captioned Video Content in TechSmith Relay
Overview
Use captioned videos, even in the absence of an accommodation request from a student. Video captions can help students of all abilities increase their comprehension of the content and improve vocabulary. In addition, students may have the need to watch videos in noisy environments. Below you'll find details on adding and syncing captions manually via TechSmith Relay. Â
