Captioning Your Video

All CNS presentation videos are required to be captioned. Screencast-O-Matic’s auto-caption feature uses machine speech-to-text translation, which can have difficulty getting scientific terms correct, so you will need to carefully review your captions for accuracy. This can take time, so don’t leave this to the last minute.

Be sure your video is in its final state before captioning. Making changes to your video after you caption it could result in having to start the captioning process over.

Check out this additional resource before captioning your video: https://screencast-o-matic.com/tutorial/easily-add-captions-to-videos/

  1. From the Screencast-O-Matic Recordings screen, select a video.

  9. Save your changes by clicking Done.
