Students, faculty, and staff can access transcripts for Webex recordings.
Overview
All Webex recordings will have an automatic transcript generated for them.
A Webex recording will only begin to process once the Meeting has concluded. Once the recording has finished processing and is viewable, the transcript generation process will begin. You should expect the transcript generation period be as long as twice the duration of the video. This means that if you have an hour-long recording, you should expect the transcript to finish generating 2 hours after the recording is viewable online.

Downloading the Transcript
The transcript may be downloaded along with the Recording as a separate file. The transcript will download as a VTT (.vtt) file. If you wish to upload this transcript into another program that supports VTT files, you are all set to do so. If your program does not support VTT files, you can easily convert the transcript to a TXT (.txt) or DOC (.doc) file using Notepad and Microsoft Word, respectively.

If you would like to upload the transcript into Kaltura, you must remove the time stamps from each line. Kaltura has an auto-alignment feature that negates the need for the timestamps. Consequently, the time stamps will prevent the auto-alignment form working correctly. Continue below to learn how to edit the downloaded transcript. |
