Been testing Simon Says for transcripts/captions today and I think I might be in love with a web app that’s going to save me hours and hours.
Automated transcript has great accuracy as a starting point (including for non-native English speakers!) and combined with the well-designed editing tools, I’m able to edit so much faster. Prices are also affordable for our tiny not-for-profit organisation.
I really really believe that captions and transcripts should be included with videos by default. But blimey, doing hour-long video streams every week has really been testing my commitment to that. Especially when we don’t have money to spend. But I’m determined!
@laura Agreed, this was mentioned for my LibreOffice videos, (even though they are silent anyway) but I kinda lack the expertise to do it, there is a limit to what people can undertake without being paid to do it. If I was paid to make them they would be better and I could find people to help me (who would expect to be paid probably)
I think it is called zone of Proximal development we can learn and build on skills we already know. we are also limited by the tools we have access to.
