If the speaker has an accent, or uses colloquialisms or specific jargon (sometimes including their username) the captions can become more difficult to understand. YouTube’s auto-generated captions vary in accuracy. It is also possible to create captions for videos you did not create, which is less ideal, but creating captions for a YouTube video you did not create is protected under Fair Use. YouTube makes it very easy to create captions for videos you have uploaded. You can watch an instructional video on the process, if needed. When using VoiceThread, only two people have the ability to create captions: the user who created the VoiceThread, or a user who has editing rights for that VoiceThread. Zoom allows users to set up closed captions, either by writing them yourself or by assigning a participant to write them. TechSmith Relay also allows users to create audio descriptions, which are spoken descriptions of the visual content in videos designed for blind viewers. The Relay caption editor even features a character counter, so you will not need to worry about your captions being too long. TechSmith has several helpful tutorials for captioning Relay. You can edit captions in Relay via the Relay website. You could provide captions and write a transcript, but you cannot use a transcript in place of captions. Some students may prefer a written transcription if the video is long and there is not much visual stimulation, but captions are standard operating procedure and also provide opportunity for context. A caption frame should be repositioned if it obscures on-screen text or other essential visual elements.All caption frames should be precisely time-synched to the audio.Each caption frame should be replaced immediately by the next caption, unless there is a long period of silence.Each frame should be on screen for at least one second, and extended sound effects should drop off-screen after 4 or 5 seconds.Each caption frame should have 1-3 lines of text, and each line should not be longer than 32 characters.Be as close to verbatim as possible without sacrificing ease of reading (reduce “ums” and redundancies if necessary).Non-speech sounds should be written in brackets, and only pertinent sound effects should be captioned.If multiple people are speaking, or if the speaker is off-screen, make sure to identify the current speaker.Make sure spelling is accurate, use proper capitalization, and proper punctuation.There are no set-in-stone regulations for online content, especially user-generated content. Subtitles only display what someone is saying (usually intended for users for whom English is a second language, or someone following along), whereas captions will display text for sounds and music as well (usually intended for D/deaf or hard of hearing users). Open captions are captions that are always on-screen, and closed captions are captions that the user must turn on. You may be confused by the different types of captions possible – subtitles, open captions, and closed captions.
#CAPTIONS IN CAMTASIA TV#
Have you ever watched a foreign language film or TV show and the captions stopped working for a moment or two? It’s a very frustrating experience, especially if you were riveted to the show and you’re missing pertinent information. It’s important to create captions for all video content you create, and to make sure that the captions are accurate. The following is informational only, and is intended to help faculty create more universally accessible content using the tools and technologies already provided by Information Technology Services. It is the responsibility of the course instructor to deliver course content in a way that is accessible by students using assistive technology. Please seek their guidance and support in choosing texts for your course. At The College of Saint Rose, the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities coordinates academic support services for students with disabilities, such as extended time on tests, note taker support, and computer technology.
