Video Captioning

This workflow is NOT for recordings that contain any HIPPA protected information. Please submit a ticket directly to the university computing group ITS to tuhelp.temple.edu requesting captioning of any videos containing HIPPA protected information.

Per university policy, all videos used in courses during the first week of the semester must be captioned. In addition, some students may need accommodations beyond the first week.

Many videos are already captioned, but, if you have Temple-owned or self-made video that needs to be captioned, CPH IT can coordinate with an outside captioning vendor to caption the video. There will be no charge to you or your department. Please be aware, however, there is a 1.5 week turnaround time for the vendor to process captioning. Also note that we are not permitted to submit third party videos for captioning. Videos must be owned by either the submitter or Temple University. For captioning of movies/films, contact Temple University Library: tulmedia@temple.edu

If you need Temple-owned or self-made videos captioned, please fill out the CPH TUhelp Captioning Request form. (Note: videos must be uploaded to Panopto prior to submitting the request.)

Zoom has audio transcription available for videos recorded to the cloud. The transcription appears along the right side of the page when viewing your video and identifies speakers and time stamps. This transcription will need to be reviewed and edited for any issues since it is auto-generated. For more information about Zoom transcription, including how to turn it on for your Zoom account, please see Using Audio Transcription for Cloud Recordings.
