[Athen] Best practices for captioning videos?

[Russell Solowoniuk]

Hi everyone,

We have been contacted by a professor who is redoing an online course. The prof is creating 15 minute talks with captions, and is wondering what technology is the best to use. Is it best to use Kaltura and have captions at the bottom of the screen, or a program like Descript where there is a full script beside the video that is highlighted as you go. Or, is there something better to use?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Best regards,

Russell
