Frequently Asked Question

When you record videos in Zoom, you can turn on the Zoom option to create live transcripts. The transcripts will be saved to Panopto and can be accessed from the videos' captions tab. I included the instructions below for Zoom.

Unfortunately, we currently do not provide software to transcribe pre-recorded videos in-house. However, Panopto can transcribe your pre-recorded videos at $1 per minute (the process will take four days). Contact dlit@andrews.edu, if you are interested.
