<font face="Arial">Regarding YouTube, I've played around with it a bit.
If you are trying to do something quickly, and you create a
transcript and upload it, it does a pretty good job of matching up the
transcript with the content. <br>
<br>
However, after trying to fix the errors to get it more to my
satisfaction, I found that it was easier to just use Easy YouTube
Caption Creator by Accessify
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/accessibility-tools/easy-youtube-caption-creator/">http://accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/accessibility-tools/easy-youtube-caption-creator/</a>)
to add the timings.<br>
<br>
I do suggest it for people who would otherwise not add captions, but
for those of us who are committed to adding captions and having them be
clean and match up well, there is no substitution for doing the extra
work.<br>
<br>
That said, it is amazing progress...and I expect to see it become even
better and easier.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello- can you use the YouTube caption software to add captions and then bring that into another software program? Or does it only work in YouTube?

I haven't tried it yet, but last night on NPR I heard an interview with
YouTube's caption mastermind. He indicated that the new automatic
captioning system is online and working; AND, although its
speech-recognition system is anything but perfect, it offers a quick way
for someone to caption a video, then go back and edit the
transcript/caption file to clean up the errors made by the speech
recognition process to end up with a cleanly captioned video with
relatively little effort. It's on my list of things to try out when I
have a few spare minutes...
Hope this helps,
Teresa

Subject: [Athen] Help w\ Captioning
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
