Do it yourself: Correcting the automatic closed captions in Panopto

You have the ability to add ASR (automatic speech recognition) generated captions to your Panopto sessions. Note that machine-generated captions clearly aren't the same as human transcription so they need to be revised and edited to ensure they are 100% accurate. 

If you want UNI's IT department to add closed captions to a public-facing video, they need an MP4 video file.

If you don't have the original MP4 file, you can download one from Panopto. We usually have people share the MP4 file in Google Drive. After we have close captioned your video, we send you a file (.srt) to upload to Panopto. Instructions for that are further down this page.
