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!
