the poor captioning on the video promoting Descript, so thanks for pointing that out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi Russell,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I would suggest that he use the standard captioning pattern. The syncing of the caption and the speech is crucial for some users. Timed transcripts with links to places within the movie are very nice, but matching the
basic expectations of two lines of captioning per screen should be available. Using .VTT files for the captioning is my preferred default.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">With tools like Chrome’s built-in Live Caption, folks who want them to display in other manners can do so. It’s great if you have a tool that can toggle between the cc and the timed transcripts, but you don’t want to
force folks into an unexpected environment. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I don’t know what tools you use by default or where your videos live, but I have always been a fan of using players that give you the option to switch between the different displays or allow you to show both.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p>
