The YuJa Enterprise Video Platform's Auto-captioning can create an automatically generated word-by-word searchable transcript of your media that can be edited using the YuJa Video Editor. While the Video Platform offers excellent quality automated captioning, a variety of external captioning services are also available for increased accuracy.
Managing Uploaded Media Auto-captions
While most Auto-captioning is done automatically, users are also able to customize the auto-captioning settings for a media file that is being uploaded.
- Using either the Upload button or drag-and-drop capability, upload a media file into the My Media page.
- Click on the Manage Captions button.
- Select the language of the video for auto-captioning.
- Add additional Dictionary words for this particular media file if needed and select Save. To learn more about the Auto-Captioning Dictionary, click here.
Requesting Auto-captions Manually
Auto-captioning should run automatically and generate a closed-caption file with the default setup language. Users will also have the option to manually request auto-captioning for their media files if the files are in a different language.

Uploading a New Caption File Manually
The Video Platform also provides the ability for users to upload their own closed-caption files. At the moment, the Video Platform supports SRT, XML, or WebVTT closed-caption format.
- Hover over a media thumbnail and select More to open up the Media Details panel.
- Select the Accessibility tab from the left side.
- Click on the Upload button and select the Captions option.
- Specify the language and browse the closed-caption file from your local computer.
- Click on Save Accessibility when done.
