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. |

The Audio-Visual Technology Support (AVT) team has a computer keyboard that is reprogrammed to autonomously remove all timestamps from a transcript file. If you have many lines of text and find that manually removing the timestamps would not be feasible, contact AVT at techsupport@uconn.edu. In your email, you should write transcript edit in the subject line.Please note that you will need to send the transcript file to the team for processinga transcript that needs to be cleaned up, i.e. removing time codes and excessive spacing, try using the Microsoft Stream transcript VTT file cleaner. |
