New features for Padlet<\/h2>\n

Auto-captions<\/a><\/h3>\n

When any user uploads a video or audio to a post, Padlet will automatically transcribe it and add captions. At this time, English is supported however Padlet is working to support auto-captions in more languages.<\/p>\n

What are auto-captions?<\/h3>\n

Captions appear at the bottom of videos. They provide a written record of the audio. Auto-captions are created by automatically transcribing any words spoken in a video or audio into text.<\/p>\n

Auto-captions help make video and audio content accessible to all users, regardless of hearing ability. They are useful when watching videos in noisy environments and can aid comprehension for non-native speakers.<\/p>\n

Where can I access auto-captions?<\/h3>\n

When you upload a video or audio, auto-captions are generated. To enable them, click the cog icon on the media player, then click “captions” and select the language. The captions will then be displayed at the bottom of the media player.<\/p>\n
