A friendly reminder and encouragement: if you are publishing audio / video as an official service to the public from the university context, automated captioning / transcriptions are not (yet) sufficient to meet accessibility requirements set by the US Dept of Education. It isn't that you cannot use automated tools, but it is important and necessary that human quality control is applied afterwards.
Thank you for aiming for full accessibility!
Cheers,
Tim

Subject: [CODE4LIB] video to text
Do you know of a video to text applications? I colleague asked me:
I have four video recordings of conference sessions and wonder if
there is a tool or technology that will help me transcribe these
into the written word?
Do y'all have any suggestions or experience in this regard?
