Caption Kaltura video
Caption your video recording
Your video will automatically captioned in English using automatic captions generated by machine. Depending on the length of the video, it should process the captions in less than 1 hour. Media without dialogue (i.e., instrument or soundtrack) will not be caption and will show “Error status.”
Automatic caption aren’t the same as human transcription, so you may need to revise and edit them to ensure they are 100% accurate. Captions can be easily edited or added to any videos in your My Media library.
