Kaltura Captioning

Students, faculty, and staff can add and edit captions in Kaltura videos.

Kaltura Captioning Features

Kaltura provides machine-generated captions through Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) Machine Transcription. This provides:

  • Immediate access to machine-based captions (70-85% accuracy) and a “Do It Yourself” Captions Editor for increased fidelity.

  • Machine-based learning with improved accuracy over time and the ability to customize glossary.

Keep in mind that if you use machine-generated captions, you will need to revise them for accuracy.

Requesting Captions

  1. Go to Kaltura’s website: Kaltura.uconn.edu

  2. In the right-hand corner, select Guest, and then Login.

  1. After logging in, select your Name that has now replaced “Guest”. Using the same drop-down menu as before, select My Media.

 

  1. Select the title of the video to which you wish to add captions.

  1. Below the video player, locate the Actions menu, and then select Caption & Enrich.

  1. Under Order Captions, you can choose between machine-generated captions, or to align captions by uploading a text file. After making your selection, choose Submit.

  2. A notification will appear signaling that your request is being processed. It may take as long as 24 hours for captions to appear, depending on the length of the video.

  3. Once captions have been completed, you will be notified via email. For more information about editing Kaltura video captions, see Editing the Captions in a Kaltura Video
