Turning transcripts into captions

  • 1.  Turning transcripts into captions

    Posted yesterday
    Hi everyone,
     
    As accessibility standards go into effect, I'm overhearing some chatter from digital archives about pulling down oral history interviews that lack captions to stay compliant.
     
    However, it's now possible to automatically synchronize orthographic/human-reviewed transcripts with interview media to make high-quality captions. I wrote a short article about this as a resource.
     
    TL;DR:
    Of course, if you have had success with other tools, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
