Hello! This is the second part of the tutorial on how to caption
from your Echo system using the integrated workflow
with Automatic Sync's CaptionSync system.
If you have not already configured your Echo system to work with CaptionSync,
please review the first video in this tutorial
which will walk you through the setup process.
In this tutorial, we'll take a look at two different scenarios for captioning.
First, when you are getting ready to create an Echo and you want to set
up the workflow so that that Echo is automatically captioned
when the capture is complete.
In the second scenario, we'll look at what happens
when you have previously captured Echoes that you want to go back and caption.
So, let's start with the first scenario.
And you start by logging into your Echo server.
Ok, so the first thing you want to do is go to the "Schedule" tab,
and select one of the existing schedules that you have, and go ahead
and click the "Edit" button.
Now near the bottom of the screen that comes
up you will see a section called "Publishing Settings".
What we want to do is add a new publisher.
And we're going to choose the publisher "AST Captioning"
which we previously set up in the Setup tutorial.
And when you choose that, you are going to get an options box that pops up.
Normally you can just leave this exactly as it is - you don't need to do anything
to it, but let me go through what these options mean.
Under the default configuration,
you will get back a synchronized caption file to go along with your Echo.
If you don't want a caption file but only a transcript, you can go ahead
and check the "Transcript Only" box.
In this case, you will not get back synchronized captions,
but rather just a flat transcript file.
Our standard turnaround time for a CaptionSync request is 3 business days;
that's a maximum of 3 business days - normally it comes back faster.
If you are in a hurry and you want it faster,
you can request the Rush service.
There is an extra cost for Rush service but it will return the result to you
in less than one business day.
Finally there is the Notes section.
If you have any notes that you want to pass along to the transcriber
such as the proper spelling of names and that sort of thing,
you can add them here and they will get transported along with your Echo
to the transcriber to make sure that those terms get correctly spelled.
Once you have configured this screen the way you want,
you can go ahead and click the Save button.
Then go ahead and click the save button on this screen.
Now once you've done that, all lectures captured
under this schedule will automatically be sent to AST for captioning.
So make sure that you are aware that every lecture captured
under this schedule will now get captioned.
Ok, let's take a look at the second scenario.
In the second scenario you have previously captured Echoes
that you now want to caption.
So to do that, go ahead and click the Echoes tab which will give you a list
of previously captures that you have available.
And let's go ahead and click on the name of one of them
that we now want to caption.
Ok, that brings you to an Edit screen and again
if you just click the Edit button we can now modify this Echo.
And near the bottom of this screen you'll see a section called
"Presentation Publishing Settings".
And it is just like before, what we are going
to do is add a new publisher for this.
And we will choose the "AST Captioning" publisher that we previously set up.
And again we have the same option box that we saw previously,
enabling us to select a transcript only or to select Rush service.
Once you have filled this out the way you want, go ahead and click save.
And then save the entire set of changes for this lecture.
As soon as you do that, your Echo system will package up that lecture
and send it off to AST for captioning.
And as soon as the caption results are done, the captions will appear
in subsequent playback of this Echo.
That's all there is to it.
Happy Captioning!
