The Office of Information Technology (OIT) has implemented a new process in the Kaltura media platform that automatically captions any new video uploaded using automatic speech recognition (ASR). These captions do not meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodation requirements, but documentation has been created on how to improve the automatic captions to become ADA compliant.
Kaltura is a media management system used by instructors and students to upload and distribute video in Moodle and Canvas course sites. Now, when a video is uploaded, the ASR process begins immediately. No settings need to be enabled. Captions are created based on the audio track, and the content is assumed to be in English. Video owners can re-run the ASR captions in Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
See the OIT Technology Spotlight for more information on this new feature.
