Create a Transcript 

 

A transcript is a text version of the media content. A transcript should capture all the spoken audio (like music or podcasts), plus on-screen text, and descriptions of key visual information that wouldn’t otherwise be accessible without seeing the video. Transcripts make video content accessible to everyone, including people who are unable to view the video due to accessibility problems or technical limitations. They are also helpful for people who want to quickly scan or search a video’s content but do not have the time to watch the entire video.

If you have captioned your video, a transcript is available as one of the optional output formats produced by the closed captioning process. To make the transcript available simply link to it from your Canvas page, wherever you link to or display the associated video.

Note: Transcripts don't necessarily have to be verbatim accounts of every single spoken word (for example, "um" or "uh" could be omitted). They should, however, contain additional descriptions, explanations, or comments that may be beneficial, such as indications of laughter or other relevant sounds.

This is an example of a transcript with some relevant on-screen action that had to be further described:
