Human-Created MiVideo Captions For SSD Accommodation

Environment

Canvas
MiVideo Mediaspace

Issue

My video has unedited auto machine captions which are not ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant. I need professional human-created captions for a disability accommodation.

Resolution

Professional human-created captions can be ordered on request for disability accommodations through the SSD office. Please complete the MiVideo Captioning, Transcription & Audio Descriptions Request Form. 

The SSD office will provide further instructions on how to order professional captions.

Professional captions can be ordered for videos that already have machine captions. Once professional captions are created they will become the default and the machines captions will be disabled on the video.

• The source video must be in English.
• Captioning requests produce English caption and transcript files.
• The recording length can be edited down as necessary prior to ordering professional captions, see the Utilizing Video Editor article.
