About this tool
Convert audio and video into usable transcripts: Upload course audio or video and receive a draft transcript that can be reviewed, edited, and repurposed — providing a consistent starting point across courses.
Outputs structured, accessible HTML and raw text: The tool produces HTML formatted for accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA). This reduces the extra work typically required to clean, tag, and reformat transcripts before they can be shared in Canvas or on the web.
- Review and edit the transcript within the tool: Review and refine transcripts inside the tool before downloading or publishing. Update terminology, names, and discipline-specific language to ensure accuracy and alignment with your course standards.
