Using Automatic Subtitling And Captioning Services On Youtube Videos

YouTube is watched over the world; and a part of the attraction in posting a video

on YouTube is the knowledge that it is being broadcast all the world over. However, if you have a video uploaded, there are some steps you will need to take to actually take advantage of that global audience - to take it from being available to a potential global audience to being available to an actual one. And subtitles for people who speak other languages, not to mention closed captioning for the hearing challenged, are an important first step down that route. Getting subtitles on a video used to be pretty laborious work; not so anymore though.

It is certainly possible to create a transcript yourself and to use free speech recognition from Google to place them appropriately along the length of the video. But if you want to automate the process, Google, as you would imagine, has just the tool for the job - CaptionTube. Using CaptionTube it turns out, is pretty easy. The application resides on the CaptionTube website, a well-designed and easy-to-use environment. All you need to do is to log in with your Google ID and import your video to begin working on it. CaptionTube brings up the caption creation page , and you're set to go. You type in the appropriate subtitles at the right places, and right away, they appear at the bottom of your screen. When you hit publish, you get a copy to download to your computer in the right file format for YouTube.

But that is what you do if you like getting your feet wet with the hands-on way. There's been a new option on CaptionTube for a couple of months now though - the new Google speech -recognition caption generator. The service is powered by the technology behind Google Voice. It is pretty high-tech stuff too all you need to do is, to type in a basic transcript of your video to submit to the speech recognition engine. It takes hints from the basic transcript, and generates the full captioning from there. You get YouTube to accept your caption file, and you're set. If however there seem to be mistakes that the speech recognition software made, you can ask YouTube to let you have a copy of the captions file with all the time coding included. You can make your changes, and you'll have all you need for all the global reach you want.
