WEBVTT 00:00:00.690 --> 00:00:03.510 Hello, Crafton Hills faculty. This is Suzanne 00:00:03.510 --> 00:00:06.510 Delahanty, your alternative media and assistive 00:00:06.510 --> 00:00:09.300 technology specialist with a very exciting 00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:12.630 announcement. Zoom has just announced the addition 00:00:12.630 --> 00:00:16.500 of a free, live automated captioning tool for all 00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:19.950 of their paid accounts. As faculty and staff, we 00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:22.470 have immediate access to this new captioning 00:00:22.470 --> 00:00:26.520 feature in our own ConferZoom accounts, as well as 00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:29.550 any other ConferZoom accounts which are paid for by 00:00:29.550 --> 00:00:32.970 the CCC. The live captioning feature is available 00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:35.850 right now and is simple and easy to activate in 00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:39.360 your own Zoom sessions. But before we begin, it's 00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:41.520 really important for you to know that this feature 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.910 can only be activated by the Zoom lead host, 00:00:45.270 --> 00:00:48.540 which in your classes, is you. And again, your 00:00:48.540 --> 00:00:52.170 students cannot activate this feature. Only you, 00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:55.080 as the meeting host, can turn on the live captions 00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:59.490 for others to see in your meetings. Once you 00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:02.100 turn them on as the meeting host, your students 00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:05.400 will then be able to see a small close captioning 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.970 button in their own (Zoom) control strip. With that 00:01:08.970 --> 00:01:11.550 button they can turn the streaming captions on or 00:01:11.550 --> 00:01:14.270 off in their own view of the meeting, as well as 00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:17.340 adjust the caption size, however, they prefer their 00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:20.370 own caption size. So let me quickly demonstrate 00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:24.780 these features. So for you, all you need to do, (I 00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:27.720 already have this feature running), but in your 00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:30.600 main window on the bottom of the Zoom toolbar, 00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:33.890 you'll see a CC icon,and it says and live transcript. 00:01:34.290 --> 00:01:36.720 If you don't see it, that means your window might 00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:40.410 not be stretched out enough. So if your meeting window is 00:01:40.410 --> 00:01:43.380 shrunken and small like this, you might not be 00:01:43.380 --> 00:01:46.140 able to see it unless you go to the "more" button 00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:50.460 right here. And in that case, you would activate 00:01:50.460 --> 00:01:56.010 and say "show subtitles" and "live transcript". 00:01:56.010 --> 00:01:59.940 This is how you would activate it. As far 00:01:59.940 --> 00:02:03.660 as your students, they would need to be told that 00:02:03.660 --> 00:02:06.480 the CC button is available in their toolbar now. They 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.540 may not know that, they need to be told they can access their cc 00:02:09.540 --> 00:02:12.840 button after you've activated the captions; and for 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.390 them to activate it by going 00:02:15.390 --> 00:02:20.010 in to CC and saying "show transcripts"; or also the 00:02:20.010 --> 00:02:24.000 feature of showing the "full transcript" on the side 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.810 view as it's captioning live. To do that, you 00:02:27.810 --> 00:02:32.370 simply just select the CC button again, and then you 00:02:32.370 --> 00:02:36.330 go to "view full transcript" and that pops out a 00:02:36.330 --> 00:02:39.240 full transcript window of everything that's been 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.840 said in the meeting thus far. It will continue to 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.600 the very end of the meeting. I would say that 00:02:45.600 --> 00:02:49.530 the accuracy of this tool is about eighty five 00:02:49.530 --> 00:02:53.640 percent. It's powered by Otter A.I., which is an 00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:58.680 extremely well known and very high quality 00:02:58.980 --> 00:03:03.120 automated captioning tool. At any time that you 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.750 feel that you would like to save the transcript, 00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:09.090 you can do so here with the "Save transcript" button. 00:03:09.780 --> 00:03:12.930 This is very handy because as you have students 00:03:13.230 --> 00:03:16.080 jump into the meeting, their usernames are also 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.600 going to be shown in the transcript. When 00:03:18.600 --> 00:03:21.030 different people speak, if they don't have a 00:03:21.030 --> 00:03:25.380 username, it will only show just an anonymous user. 00:03:25.770 --> 00:03:29.880 if they have a picture, it will show a picture of 00:03:29.880 --> 00:03:32.550 their avatar. If you'd like to save the 00:03:32.550 --> 00:03:35.370 transcript, you simply click on the "save 00:03:35.370 --> 00:03:38.940 transcript button" and it tells you it's been saved. 00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:42.360 Then you can view it immediately on your computer, 00:03:42.870 --> 00:03:45.750 on your desktop. I'm going to give you a look 00:03:45.750 --> 00:03:50.160 at what this looks like. It is timestamped. It 00:03:50.160 --> 00:03:54.060 does tell you for every second what has been said. 00:03:54.060 --> 00:03:57.870 And at any point you can actually re-download this. 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.350 It's a really powerful tool to also check your 00:04:01.350 --> 00:04:04.620 discussions to see if students have actually been 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.580 taking part in discussions and it will timestamp 00:04:08.580 --> 00:04:12.240 and show their names as well. So I hope that this 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.450 makes sense to you and that you will consider 00:04:15.450 --> 00:04:19.290 using this in your own course. This is an excellent 00:04:19.290 --> 00:04:22.680 universal design tool because it actually helps 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.500 all kinds of learners, not just those who are hard 00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:28.740 of hearing and deaf, but also students with other 00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:33.090 type of learning concerns such as dyslexia, autism, 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:37.950 and those who have a little bit of need to see the 00:04:38.190 --> 00:04:40.860 words while they're watching a meeting. This is very 00:04:40.860 --> 00:04:44.460 helpful for English language learners too. Hopefully 00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:46.410 you've enjoyed this and will consider 00:04:46.410 --> 00:04:50.820 incorporating this into your live Zoom meetings. And as 00:04:50.820 --> 00:04:54.480 anything else, if you have any questions or need 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.850 any assistance, please feel free to reach out to 00:04:56.850 --> 00:05:00.040 me. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
