Team # 1036 -- Video Captioning and Transcription
Information Technology Services (ITS)

January 2013

Objective

We are piloting a university-wide video captioning and transcription service that will provide the means for departments to make their Web videos accessible. We plan to have a transcriptionist inhouse to do our captioning and charge back to other departments who use this person's services at a fixed rate. Some videos may require being sent out to transcription services, but the departments that have them done by our service will save at least 1/3 of the cost of outsourcing.
