Auto-Captioning
When a video is uploaded to Kaltura there is a function to auto-caption the uploaded video. 

This captioning service is located directly within your Media Gallery inside COTROnline.

STEP 1: Once your video is finished processing, select the video by ticking the Dark Teal checkbox to the left of the video.

*You can select and caption several videos at once!

STEP 2: 
Next, navigate to the top of your Media Gallery and open the "ACTIONS" drop-down. Select the option for +Caption&Enrich. 

STEP 3: 
Finally, submit your video(s) for captioning. 

Once the Captioning process has finished, all instances of the video on your course page will now have a captions view option on the video player. 

Producing a Transcript
Kaltura does not (yet) provide a transcript function. In order to provide a transcript, you will need to first caption your video. Then, once the captions are finished processing, open your video file for editing and select the captions page. From here you can download a captions file that you can present as a transcript.

When you record your video directly in Microsoft Teams, the video is automatically saved in Microsoft Stream. You can also record directly in Stream or upload videos from your computer into Stream. Stream offers auto-captioning and transcript services.

Captioning in Microsoft Stream

Once your video is open in Microsoft Stream , select the "Video Settings" menu from the right hand side.

This will provide a menu of options including one titled "Transcript and captions". 

Select "Generate" if the captions are not autogenerating.

Transcripts

Transcripts are automatically generated alongside the captioning process. Once the captions are finished, you can open and edit the Transcript by selecting the "Transcript" option in the side menu: 

From here you can also download the file as a doc file.

If you are sharing third-party videos in your course, you may not have control over whether they have captions or not that you can download as a transcript. 

There are many online tools that will help autogenerate captions. One free tool that we find effective is OpenAI's Youtube Transcript Generator for YouTube-based videos.
