Request Captions on a Video
- Rob Caldwell
The following guide explains how captioning works in Panopto and how to request professional captions for a video.
About Captioning
All videos uploaded to Panopto or recorded on Zoom (using Cloud Recording) are automatically machine captioned. While this works for many uses, it is not considered ADA-compliant, as machine speech-to-text often generates too many errors to be useful to students who rely on captioning.
Editing Captions
Machine captioning (machine generated speech-to-text) may result in occasional errors. You have the ability to edit the captions to fix mistakes.

Professional Captioning Request
NCSSM has some funding available for professional ADA-compliant human captioning. We recommend requesting professional captioning any time you create a video you plan to use each semester when teaching a class, or any time you have a student enrolled who requires captioning.
