Use captioning
service
Closed captions provide text descriptions of the audio for
audience members who cannot hear the audio (or hear it well). My Mediasite
allows you to submit captioning requests through captioning services using an
existing account. Mediasite supports the following captioning services: AI
Media, Automatic Sync Technologies® (AST), 3Play Media, 3Play Media-ASR
(Automated Speech Recognition), Cielo 24, Verbit, and IBM Watson Speech to Text
service using an existing account.
To add closed captions to your presentation using an
automated captioning service, you must first enable audio transcriptions on it
and specify the provider.
To use a captioning service:
1.
Navigate to your presentation. Click Edit Details and go to
the Delivery tab.
2. Select
the Audio
Transcriptions check box and select the Choose a Provider for Captioning
radio button.
3. Click
in the Select a
Captioning Profile field. When the Search Captioning
Providers dialog appears, search for and select your captioning
service provider.
4. For
services, you will have the option to expedite the captioning job. You will do
this by selecting the
Request Rush Processing check box. Selecting this option will
result in additional charges from your captioning provider.
5. Click
Save.
Choose captioning provider
By default,
Mediasite uses IBM’s Speech to Text service to generate keywords that will
appear in player, catalog, channel and showcase search results. The initial
quality provided by this service may not meet the needs of viewers who require
captions so consider that when selecting this as your captioning service
provider. Use the Caption Editor to update your captions as
needed.
