Adding Transcripts

Currently, transcripts are only available for videos that you upload directly to the PATHS platform. This option is turned on by default and as soon as you save your step the platform will begin transcribing the video for you. You'll see an orange "Transcribing..." label next to that Step in your Path while it is being processed. One it's finished you'll see a green "Transcript Ready" label next to that step.

Transcripts are available in English by default, but you may add additional languages once the initial transcript is ready. See the article on Adding and Editing Transcripts for more in-depth guides.
