Machine captioning is performed automatically on all videos uploaded to Kaltura (video.syr.edu). This process uses automatic machine generated transcription (ASR) that recognizes the words spoken in your video and provides machine-based captions with 75-85% accuracy.
While third party speech-to-text products, such as Otter.ai, exist for live-captioning, ITS recommends that professional captioning be used whenever an accommodation is requested or whenever our policy requires that an event has live captioning.
See Guidelines for CART and ASL Interpreting for more information.
Users can choose to delete captions or transcripts from media.
Kaltura may take a few hours to a day to completely remove captions and transcripts from media files once deleted. Kaltura may take a day or so to completely remove the transcript from media files once deleted.
