Unitube’s new automated AI captioning feature is available from Tuesday, 27 February 2024. In addition to the new captioning feature, we will introduce many significant improvements to the Unitube service during 2024. Unitube Uploader will be upgraded to a new version in July – the new version will have new features that we’re adding to the service based on the customer feedback you’ve sent us. Stay tuned as we’ll release details on Unitube’s new features during the spring!
- You can use Unitube’s automated captioning feature to add captions produced by artificial intelligence to your recordings. Automated captioning requested via Unitube Uploader will appear as a file next to the video after a short delay (usually less than an hour). See the IT Helpdesk instructions for using automated captioning in Unitube Uploader (English translations coming soon).
- You can currently choose between Microsoft’s Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) language model and OpenAI’s Whisper. Based on initial user experiences, both language models produce reasonably high-quality captions from clearly audible speech.
- We do however recommend that you review the captions and make any necessary corrections to them using an application such as Subtitle Edit. First download the AI-generated file to your University work computer and then upload the revised file to Unitube Uploader next to the recording. You can download Subtitle Edit from Software Center for your centrally managed University Windows computer.
- Also see IT Helpdesk instructions for using Unitube Uploader.
