How do I add auto-generated captions to my media file in Canvas Studio?
In Canvas Studio, uploaded media includes auto-generated captions by default. The automatic tool uses technology to transcribe media file language with 85% accuracy.
Auto-generated captions are not available for YouTube or Vimeo media uploads. For these media types, you can upload caption files or create captions manually. For other media types uploaded before March 25, 2024, automatic captioning can be added to the media file by request.
If professional captioning is available in your district, the Professional option is available in the Captions request window. Professional captioning uses a human captioner who transcribes media files with up to 99% accuracy.
Notes:
- After Canvas Studio Media contains captions, other users can download the transcript of the media.
- Professional captioning is only available if your district contracts with professional captioning services Verbit or Cielo24.
- If the professional captioning option does not display in the Captions request window, professional captioning is not currently available in your district. Contact your admin for more information.
