captioned before it is shown
Drawn for this page. A video without accurate captions leaves out the students who rely on them; asking early is what makes it ready on the day.

How to use it

  1. Start a plan with a unit code and the date.
  2. Note how many students rely on captions and where requests go.
  3. List every video with its length, its captions now and when you will show it.
  4. Send the requests in the order the summary gives them.
  5. Check automatic captions against the audio before showing.

Caption quality

Automatic is a start

Automatic captions miss words, names and technical terms and often lack punctuation. Captions that serve as an accommodation need to be accurate and in sync, so check and fix them.

Ask early

Captioning takes time. Media offices and vendors need lead time, and a published video may already exist in a captioned version from its publisher.

What it is not

Not a captioning tool and not a legal review. It keeps the requests and dates in one place so nothing is shown uncaptioned.
