Kaltura automatically creates machine transcriptions for your video items. Machine transcription converts your audio to text, but these transcriptions need to be edited in order for them to be considered “Closed Captions”.  You can access and edit the captions by choosing the + Caption & Enrich option in the video’s actions menu. Please note that all machine transcriptions have a turnaround time of approximately 5x media length.
