Automatically creating captions for a media file in Moodle

Since these captions are automatically generated, the accuracy may vary from video to video. As the owner of the video you can edit the captions to improve accuracy. Refer to our editing captions Moodle help page for detailed instructions.


On your My Media page (found under Site home in Moodle), click on the video thumbnail, then select Edit from the ACTIONS menu: 

Choose the Captions tab and select the download icon to download the captions file (srt). You can then upload this file to any services that do not generate automatic captions.
