Overview
Panopto has the ability to manually upload captions or add captions through automatic speech recognition (ASR). Please note that captions created through ASR are not 100% accurate and should be reviewed and edited before being used for your content. This guide will show how to import and edit ASR captions as well as upload captions created elsewhere.
