When you record or host your lecture videos in Panopto, the videos are auto-captioned when you upload them. This is done using AI, not a human transcriber, so it is important to check your transcripts for accuracy and fix them if needed, especially if you have any technical or specialized terminology in your lectures.
You can make edits to your captions right in the Panopto interface. Even better, if you have a captioning file from a captioning grant or transcription service, you can upload the captioning file to Panopto, and it will override the auto-captions.
Panopto even supports adding audio descriptions for content that is displayed on screen but not described verbally, which can be important for students who are blind or have low vision. When viewing, the video pauses when it gets to a frame that you’ve added a description for, and will read out the description during video play-back.
