Accessibility in YuJa

Captioning in YuJa is simplified with the help of Artificial Intelligence. Using advanced AI and algorithms, YuJa automatically generates captions, transcripts, and word clouds for all uploaded videos. The auto-captioning process typically takes a few minutes to a few hours to complete, and you'll receive an email notification once your captions are ready.

Requesting Auto Captioning

If your captions do not auto-generate, you can request auto-captioning through the Accessibility tab. This is particularly important after using the Bulk Merge feature, as it doesn't effectively combine captions from multiple videos. For merged video files, you will need to manually request auto-captioning.

If you upload a video file to YuJa from an external source, you may already have a caption file that can be imported through YuJa's Accessibility tab. Before uploading your own captions, be sure to delete any auto-generated caption files in YuJa to avoid confusion.

YuJa  integrates several human-based captioning services that you can choose from, primarily intended to support students with accommodation needs. Human Captioning incurs an additional fee, so it should be used judiciously. Due to these associated costs, UND restricts access to Human Captioning requests to specific faculty and staff members.

Explore the Media Player's navigation and layout features, including media controls, video quality settings, side menu tools, and playback options. These features can be customized to suit your viewing preferences.

Viewers can customize their caption settings within the YuJa Media Player. Font color, style, size, and layout can all be adapted to meet viewer preferences. 

The Media Player features an Interactive Transcript that offers viewers a dynamic, follow-along experience. Viewers can read the transcript as they follow along with the video. Additionally, viewers can jump to specific parts of the video by selecting text in the transcript. 

The Media Player's Sidebar allows users to download Notes, Resources, and Transcripts while watching content.

Notes

Viewers may take notes while watching a video and then download them alongside their associated slide thumbnails.

Resources

Video creators may choose to attach additional resources to their videos, which viewers can download for offline access. 

Transcripts

Viewers can utilize keyboard shortcuts to control media in the Media Player without using a mouse. 

Verify that your captions have been generated accurately. Use the Video Editor to add, modify, or remove captions as needed. For quick corrections, utilize the Find and Replace feature to bulk edit common errors in your captions.

Indexes act as bookmarks within a video, enabling users to quickly navigate to specific points. Add indexes manually through the Video Editor or auto-generate them via the Accessibility tab or Capture software. Use the Video Editor to adjust index placement and timing. 

YuJa  supports keyboard control for several actions performed in the Video Editor.
