How to Tutorial: Closed Captioning with EduStream EduStream, which provides community colleges with a centralized resource for video-on-demand capabilities, offers an integration with AST's CaptionSync. The integration allows EduStream member organizations to caption any videos that they upload to their EduStream account with just a few clicks. EduStream member organizations that are part of the California Community College system can use their DECT grant accounts to pay for qualified captioning performed using the EduStream-CaptionSync integration. This tutorial describes how to setup both your EduStream account and your AST CaptionSync account to enable the automated captioning workflow, as well as how to submit your videos for closed captioning from EduStream. Setup Steps 1. While logged into your CaptionSync account, go to Settings -> EduStream Settings, and copy the token to your clipboard. 2. In another browser tab log into your EduStream account, go to Edit My Account -> CaptionSync Account, enter your CaptionSync user name, paste in the token that you copied from CaptionSync into the Token field, and click Save. 3. Finally, check your caption output format settings, and update if necessary to include the preferred EduStream output format, which is SubRip subtitles (SRT). You can view your output format settings under Click to see outputs on the Caption/Transcribe tab, and change them using Advanced Settings->Output Types. Be sure to check Save Above Settings as Default, and then Apply Changes. CaptionSync™ Tutorial – Closed Captioning with EduStream 4/2012 2 Closed Captioning with EduStream. Submitting Content for Captioning Once you have completed the setup process, you can submit video content for closed captioning using either of the following methods: 1. When uploading content, click the Caption using CaptionSync box on the upload screen. This opens a text area box that allows you to add notes to the transcriber. OR, 2. On a playlist screen, click Edit next to any video that has a Caption Status of Not Captioned. There is a similar box that you can check to request captioning from Automatic Sync’s CaptionSync service and enter notes to the transcriber before submission. The rest of the captioning process is automatic. The file will get sent to your AST CaptionSync account, and the caption output file will get sent back to EduStream within the designated turnaround time. Once your videos are captioned the Caption Status field will change from Pending to Captioned, and videos will show a CC icon on the EduStream player, allowing viewers to toggle on captions.
