Download your video from Canvas Studio, drop it here, and get both a transcript for students and a caption file that uploads straight back onto the media in Canvas.
The file you have
There is no link to paste for this one. Studio media sits inside your Canvas sign-in, so download the file and upload it.
How it works
From the media's options menu in Canvas Studio.
The transcript is ready in about two minutes per hour of video.
Export SRT or VTT and add it on the media's Captions tab, choosing the language spoken.
Good to know
What comes back
The same four things for every Canvas Studio recording, whatever its length.
Every line carries its time. Click a line to hear that second again, or search a name or phrase and jump to each place it was said.
A brief with the takeaways, chapters with their start times, and the quotes worth keeping. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.
Ask where a topic came up or what was decided, and get the answer with the time it was said, instead of scrolling the whole text.
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON from the same transcript: a document to edit, caption files for video, plain text to paste, structured data for your own tools.
