Request Auto Captions for a Video in TC Digital Media

Updated on

Beginning March 15, 2023, all media uploaded to TC Digital Media have automatic captions added. For media uploaded before that date, the owner of that video can request automatic captions.

Note that automatic captioning in TCDM is free, but is not as accurate as captioning that is created by a human. Once automatic captions are created, you should edit the captions for accuracy.

1. After you have uploaded your video to TC Digital Media, hover your mouse over the video you want to auto-caption until a menu appears towards the right.
