Closed Captioning

Video and rich media webcasts provide an invaluable learning tool, and closed captions enhance that experience.

• Make content accessible to viewers with hearing disabilities
• Let viewers of all abilities quickly pinpoint important information by searching any presentation’s captioning transcript
• Improve content comprehension for viewers with English as a second language (ESL)
• Enhance playback for viewers watching in noisy environments

Mediasite streamlines the entire captioning process, automatically uploading your recorded media files to your preferred captioning provider. Once closed captions are ready, they are automatically returned to Mediasite, which associates them to the corresponding presentation, displays them in the Mediasite Player and makes them available to keyword searching.

We also make it easy for people to find your publicly-available video webcasts through search engine optimization, automatically exposing your presentation metadata, slide text and captioning transcript to the search engines.
