Kaltura - Automatic Captioning 12/01/21
Posted: 2021-12-01 09:01:39 Expiration: 2021-12-07 17:01:39
Beginning December 1, 2021, the University of Wisconsin System (except for UW Madison) instance of Kaltura will automatically add machine-generated captions (auto captions) by default to all new Kaltura videos.
This change is the result of a change request from UW users to turn on Kaltura automatic captioning by default, and has been vetted through a careful process to evaluate and solicit input from a variety of UW System stakeholders. This change does not impact UW-Madison’s Kaltura service.
On 12/01/21 and thereafter, videos created in or uploaded to Kaltura will have machine-generated captions automatically ordered and applied, with no action needed on the part of the video owner. There is no charge to users or campuses for Kaltura auto captioning.
For videos created in or uploaded to Kaltura on or after 12/01/2021, auto captioning replaces the current manual process of ordering captions on a video-by-video basis. For videos added to Kaltura before this date, the video owner or co-editor can manually request that machine-generated captions be added.
