Beginning November 2nd, all audio/video media (less than 4 hours long) published to a section will be sent to Amazon to have machine-generated transcriptions (ASR)  added to them. 

Instructors can enable/disable ASR toggle by following these instructions: https://learn.echo360.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035407651-Enable-or-Disable-Automatic-Transcriptioning-for-a-Section-ASR-

What to expect?:

1. all newly published media will be sent for transcriptions automatically. 
2. once applied, the transcriptions appear for the video in all locations to which it is published.
3. transcriptions take at least 30 minutes to complete but may take longer, depending on the length of the video and the overall number of transcription requests being processed at the same time.
4. existing media will need to be re-published for transcription to take place

**  If you remove then re-publish a capture to a class to obtain transcriptions, you will remove student video view data from the section analytics for that class/video and so we ask that instead, you follow Echo360's recommendation below.
 

The recommendation from Echo for re-publishing existing content is that you:

1. use an old section  for temporarily publishing videos
2. publish the older, non-transcribed videos to the old section
3. once the transcription is generated, remove the videos from the old selection

If you do not have an old section to publish to or should you have any questions,  please contact us at: academictechnologies@stonybrook.edu; submit a ticket online at: service.stonybrook.edu; chat live  or call us at 631-632-2358

Students who require captioning due to accessibility issues should contact the Student Accessibility Support Center. https://www.stonybrook.edu/sasc/ to get the Echo360 recordings for their course captioned.
