YouTube or Panopto. These are around 60 \u2013 70% accurate and it is important to note that editing of these captions is therefore frequently required (if you are the owner of the video and have editor\/admin rights for the video on that platform)<\/li>\n<li>Manually created closed captions \u2013 correctly transcribed text as well as other descriptive sounds eg. background noises or other audio cues, usually 99% accurate<\/li>\n<li>Word transcription &#8211; this is when the sound (such as the lecturer&#8217;s presentation) within a video is instead converted to written record which can be used as as stand alone artefact (or in conjunction with the original media<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Best Practices for creating quality captions<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use Sans Serif fonts ( Arial, Verdana or Calibri)<\/li>\n<li>No more than two lines of text on screen<\/li>\n<li>White text with black outline or background<\/li>\n<li>For multiple speakers, consider using names to identify e.g.<br \/>\n(Lecturer) What do you think?<br \/>\n(Student) I think this is great<\/li>\n<li>Ensure captions are synchronised with spoken words<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Automatic Creation of Captions for Audio\/Video content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are several ways in which captions can be created automatically, and these can give the overall process of providing accessible resources greater efficiency. The most relevant platforms for doing this are listed below. There are however some aspects which must be kept in mind. Firstly, the accuracy of speech to text recognition of platforms such as youtube can be as low as 60% to as high as 90% and this accuracy can be impacted by aspects such as ambient noise, speaker&#8217;s tone\/pitch\/pace, quality of recording equipment, accents and subject matter. Although Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning approaches are rapidly impacting upon and improving automated speech recognition, you need to be prepared to review and possibly edit captions in the videos you&#8217;ve created. If you&#8217;re embedding youtube videos into your Interact2 site which don&#8217;t belong to you, encouraging students to turn on the closed captions is and providing written module commentary on the video is a good starting point, however if the resource is critical you may need to investigate additional measures to ensure accessibility and equity is maintained.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/csu-panopto.aarnet.edu.au\/Panopto\/Pages\/Home.aspx\"><strong>Including and editing captions for CSU Replay (Panopto) <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/support.panopto.com\/s\/article\/ASR-Generated-Captions\">https:\/\/support.panopto.com\/s\/article\/ASR-Generated-Captions<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\"><strong>YouTube Editor<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>YouTube Editor gives you the choice of generating automatic captions, uploading a transcript file or creating your own captions.\u00a0 Once an account has been created, an MP4 can be uploaded, edited and then published.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Using Dragon Naturally Speaking software <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dragon speech recognition software can be used to create captions in YouTube or a Word document and in other software players.\u00a0 The video is played through dictation headphones and then spoken aloud, creating a speech to text transcription.\u00a0 Platforms such as YouTube will then set the timings to automatically line up with the text.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word Transcriptions\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many students prefer a Word transcription of audio material. So rather than captions being included within the original media (such as video with captions), the content is provided as a written transcription in a Word document.
