Introduction

My Media offers automatic caption creation for your videos. This enables any video uploaded to My Media to have a text alternative to the video audio. Once complete the captions can be edited manually to fix any errors or add descriptions as needed

How to download Video Captions / Transcripts

If you are the creator of the video we recommend you write a script as this can be used as a transcript as well.

1. Select your Video in MyMedia

• From Moodle, in the navigation drawer on the left, select My Media.

• To the right of the video that you would like to download captions for select the Edit button.
  
  

• Select the Attachments tab and, and on the far right, select the download button for the transcript_en.txt file. This is the best format to download, but will require some editing.

• Alternatively, you can download the SRT file under the Captions Tab. This format has the text split into smaller parts with more specific timestamps.
