Transcripts and Accessibility: Student Views from Using Webinars in Built Environment Education
Liyanagunawardena, Tharindu R.
European Journal of Open, Distance and E-Learning, v23 n2 p37-50 2020
Transcripts and captions make videos more accessible to everyone. However, the time and resources required for manual transcription are a known barrier in creating accessible videos. This paper presents a small study where students (283) and tutors (27) reported their views on automatic transcriptions for recorded webinar videos. Despite not having perfect transcription accuracy, many students who have used the automatic transcripts found them to be useful. Students were also asked how they used transcripts and this included: to find specific information in a video, as a learning aid, as an accessibility aid, to compensate for the speaker's accent and pace, to study on the go, to compensate for poor audio and/or connectivity and as an aid for non-native English speakers.
