[Athen] Help w\ Captioning

[Jeffrey Sykes]

Hi Howard,

We are using an outside service - Automatic Sync Technologies - to generate the caption file.  They employ transcribers who can create a transcript, or you can submit your own transcript.  The typical turnaround time is 3 days when they create the transcript.  Creating the caption file in AST's system takes just minutes, so if you submit your own transcript you can have results very quickly.

We then embed the caption file on the video to produce an open captioned video here in-house.

If you are captioning online media, Overstream can host the caption file and link to the video, as long as the video is on supported sites.

Jeff

Hello All:

I have a number of videos I want to caption. I know a good deal 
about the different tools out there but I wanted to get feedback 
on the quickest way at this point, to caption material. The 
system that Sean & John demonstrated at AHG was very impressive 
but I don't know if this is open to those not affiliated with 
Stanford. It seems that YouTube has a tool for automatically 
generating captions or am I wrong on this. Anyway, thanks in 
advance for your feedback.

-Howard
