Steps for using Duke Zoom to generate a transcript of a mp4 video

If your video is not already in Mediasite and does not need to be within a Mediasite folder/channel (for example, the video is part of a product that is embedded in Canvas), you may benefit from using Duke Zoom for video transcription.

The benefits of using Duke Zoom for this purpose are: 1) anyone with a Duke NetID can access/use this functionality, 2) fast, immediate processing of the transcript, 3) accurate language, 4) free to use with Duke NetID.

How-to Steps

Open Duke Zoom using the SSO with your NetID (for help, go to Duke Zoom FAQ)
Rename yourself to “time” (this will make the transcript easier to read later). Go to participants, hover over your name, click more, rename
Open up the transcript in Zoom. Go to more, click transcript. You will see a box that looks like a chat box.
Share your screen with the mp4 video. Click play
You will see the text of the transcript auto-populating as the video plays. When the video is finished, click “save transcript”
Open the transcript and export as PDF, save it to the Box folder for transcripts with the name of the video (e.g., Module 1 video 1-1)
