This page provides essential guidance and step-by-step tutorials for editing and perfecting Closed Captions within the YuJa video system.
Accessibility Standard for Closed Captioning Accuracy
YuJa’s automatic captioning service typically generates captions with an accuracy of approximately 90-95%. While this accuracy rate is a great starting point, it’s not sufficient for a fully accessible and equitable experience. Crucially, the 5-10% of errors can be significant, potentially missing key technical terms, proper nouns, or critical instructional details. Therefore, for captions to be reliable and provide an effective experience for all students, they must achieve an exceptionally high accuracy rate, typically 99% or greater.
For this reason, ensuring high-quality accessibility is essential, and instructors must:
- Acknowledge Limitations: Instructors should be aware that the automatic captions are a foundation, not a final product. Editing them is a necessary step to ensure they are truly accurate for all users.
- Review and Edit Captions: In addition to awareness, the auto-generated captions should always be reviewed and corrected by a human. YuJa provides fast, easy-to-use tools to make this editing process seamless.
