As part of the University of Alabama’s Technology Accessibility Initiative, the Technology Accessibility team administers captioning grants that may be used to and/or transcribe UA-owned video and audio that will be shared on public or campus-wide websites. Rev, the captioning vendor with whom we contract, recently announced these new features. Logged-in UA Rev.com users can access these and future updates via the notifications tab in the top menu bar.
All Transcripts Synced to Audio
Published by Rev on March 4, 2019
Reviewing transcripts alongside audio or video can be difficult sometimes. A quick distraction can cause you to completely forget where you were in the text! Then you have to take your best guess at scrubbing the video back to where you were.. equally frustrating.
It happens, we feel you – that’s why we built read-along tracking into every new transcript you order. Now words are highlighted on the transcript as they are spoken in the media player, and scrubbing the audio/video brings the highlight along with it. Let yourself get distracted, the Rev Editor has your back!
