1 00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:03,510 Hello, Crafton Hills faculty. This is Suzanne 2 00:00:03,510 --> 00:00:06,510 Delahanty, your alternative media and assistive 3 00:00:06,510 --> 00:00:09,300 technology specialist with a very exciting 4 00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:12,630 announcement. Zoom has just announced the addition 5 00:00:12,630 --> 00:00:16,500 of a free, live automated captioning tool for all 6 00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:19,950 of their paid accounts. As faculty and staff, we 7 00:00:19,950 --> 00:00:22,470 have immediate access to this new captioning 8 00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:26,520 feature in our own ConferZoom accounts, as well as 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,550 any other ConferZoom accounts which are paid for by 10 00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:32,970 the CCC. The live captioning feature is available 11 00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:35,850 right now and is simple and easy to activate in 12 00:00:35,850 --> 00:00:39,360 your own Zoom sessions. But before we begin, it's 13 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,520 really important for you to know that this feature 14 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,910 can only be activated by the Zoom lead host, 15 00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:48,540 which in your classes, is you. And again, your 16 00:00:48,540 --> 00:00:52,170 students cannot activate this feature. Only you, 17 00:00:52,170 --> 00:00:55,080 as the meeting host, can turn on the live captions 18 00:00:55,290 --> 00:00:59,490 for others to see in your meetings. Once you 19 00:00:59,490 --> 00:01:02,100 turn them on as the meeting host, your students 20 00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:05,400 will then be able to see a small close captioning 21 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,970 button in their own (Zoom) control strip. With that 22 00:01:08,970 --> 00:01:11,550 button they can turn the streaming captions on or 23 00:01:11,550 --> 00:01:14,270 off in their own view of the meeting, as well as 24 00:01:14,430 --> 00:01:17,340 adjust the caption size, however, they prefer their 25 00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:20,370 own caption size. So let me quickly demonstrate 26 00:01:20,370 --> 00:01:24,780 these features. So for you, all you need to do, (I 27 00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:27,720 already have this feature running), but in your 28 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,600 main window on the bottom of the Zoom toolbar, 29 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,890 you'll see a CC icon,and it says and live transcript. 30 00:01:34,290 --> 00:01:36,720 If you don't see it, that means your window might 31 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,410 not be stretched out enough. So if your meeting window is 32 00:01:40,410 --> 00:01:43,380 shrunken and small like this, you might not be 33 00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:46,140 able to see it unless you go to the "more" button 34 00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:50,460 right here. And in that case, you would activate 35 00:01:50,460 --> 00:01:56,010 and say "show subtitles" and "live transcript". 36 00:01:56,010 --> 00:01:59,940 This is how you would activate it. As far 37 00:01:59,940 --> 00:02:03,660 as your students, they would need to be told that 38 00:02:03,660 --> 00:02:06,480 the CC button is available in their toolbar now. They 39 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,540 may not know that, they need to be told they can access their cc 40 00:02:09,540 --> 00:02:12,840 button after you've activated the captions; and for 41 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,390 them to activate it by going 42 00:02:15,390 --> 00:02:20,010 in to CC and saying "show transcripts"; or also the 43 00:02:20,010 --> 00:02:24,000 feature of showing the "full transcript" on the side 44 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,810 view as it's captioning live. To do that, you 45 00:02:27,810 --> 00:02:32,370 simply just select the CC button again, and then you 46 00:02:32,370 --> 00:02:36,330 go to "view full transcript" and that pops out a 47 00:02:36,330 --> 00:02:39,240 full transcript window of everything that's been 48 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,840 said in the meeting thus far. It will continue to 49 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,600 the very end of the meeting. I would say that 50 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,530 the accuracy of this tool is about eighty five 51 00:02:49,530 --> 00:02:53,640 percent. It's powered by Otter A.I., which is an 52 00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:58,680 extremely well known and very high quality 53 00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:03,120 automated captioning tool. At any time that you 54 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,750 feel that you would like to save the transcript, 55 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,090 you can do so here with the "Save transcript" button. 56 00:03:09,780 --> 00:03:12,930 This is very handy because as you have students 57 00:03:13,230 --> 00:03:16,080 jump into the meeting, their usernames are also 58 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,600 going to be shown in the transcript. When 59 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,030 different people speak, if they don't have a 60 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:25,380 username, it will only show just an anonymous user. 61 00:03:25,770 --> 00:03:29,880 if they have a picture, it will show a picture of 62 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,550 their avatar. If you'd like to save the 63 00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:35,370 transcript, you simply click on the "save 64 00:03:35,370 --> 00:03:38,940 transcript button" and it tells you it's been saved. 65 00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:42,360 Then you can view it immediately on your computer, 66 00:03:42,870 --> 00:03:45,750 on your desktop. I'm going to give you a look 67 00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:50,160 at what this looks like. It is timestamped. It 68 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,060 does tell you for every second what has been said. 69 00:03:54,060 --> 00:03:57,870 And at any point you can actually re-download this. 70 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,350 It's a really powerful tool to also check your 71 00:04:01,350 --> 00:04:04,620 discussions to see if students have actually been 72 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,580 taking part in discussions and it will timestamp 73 00:04:08,580 --> 00:04:12,240 and show their names as well. So I hope that this 74 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,450 makes sense to you and that you will consider 75 00:04:15,450 --> 00:04:19,290 using this in your own course. This is an excellent 76 00:04:19,290 --> 00:04:22,680 universal design tool because it actually helps 77 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,500 all kinds of learners, not just those who are hard 78 00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:28,740 of hearing and deaf, but also students with other 79 00:04:28,740 --> 00:04:33,090 type of learning concerns such as dyslexia, autism, 80 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,950 and those who have a little bit of need to see the 81 00:04:38,190 --> 00:04:40,860 words while they're watching a meeting. This is very 82 00:04:40,860 --> 00:04:44,460 helpful for English language learners too. Hopefully 83 00:04:44,460 --> 00:04:46,410 you've enjoyed this and will consider 84 00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:50,820 incorporating this into your live Zoom meetings. And as 85 00:04:50,820 --> 00:04:54,480 anything else, if you have any questions or need 86 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,850 any assistance, please feel free to reach out to 87 00:04:56,850 --> 00:05:00,040 me. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
