Note: If content contains instances of speech in a language other than what was ordered, the additional language/s will be tagged in the source language. For example, if a German video is upload for German transcription/captioning but contains some moments of French, the French would be tagged [Frnzösisch sprechen].
BEFORE uploading media files for the transcription and captioning service check, and if necessary, update your Other Language Transcription Settings. At the time of upload your files immediately take all current settings and these settings cannot be reconfigured once submitted so it is best practice to always do this before uploading.
Other Language Transcription Settings are a project-level setting and not a user-level setting. Any changes you make will be applied to your project and could impact other users!
To view your project's current transcriptions settings click Settings followed by Other Language Transcription Settings.
There are five components to your Other Language Transcription Settings.
- Dialogue Style
- Spoken Audio
- Include on Screen Text
- Sound Effects
- Speaker Identification Style
PLEASE NOTE: These settings will be sent as instructions to our third-party translation vendor. 3Play Media Transcription Editors will not see these instructions and these instructions will not be applied to files ordered for English Transcription.
Dialogue Style
Select from three different dialogue styles that determine how the speakers’ dialogue is formatted within your transcript and/or closed captions.
The options for Dialogue Style are:
Double Chevron:
I'm thirsty. Are you thirsty? >> Yeah. It's about time I got a sandwich.
Line Breaks + Dashes:
- I'm thirsty. Are you thirsty?
- Yeah. It's about time I got a sandwich.
Line Breaks:
I'm thirsty. Are you thirsty?
Yeah. It's about time I got a sandwich.
Spoken Audio
Here users have two options for captioning spoken audio. Select true so all spoken words/dialogue are captioned. Select false to not caption all spoken words/dialogue.
Include On Screen Text
Here users have two options for captioning on-screen text. Select true to caption all text that appears on the screen between square brackets [ ]. Select false to not caption all text that appears on the screen between square brackets [ ].
Sound Effects
Here users have two options for captioning sound effects. Select true to include all relevant sound effects between square brackets [ ]. Select false to not include all relevant sound effects between square brackets [ ]. Commonly used sound effects include but are not limited to: [♪ music ♪], [applause], [laughter], etc.].
Speaker Identification Style
Change the way speakers’ identifications are labeled within your transcript and/or closed captions.
The options for Speaker Identification are:
None: Do not label speakers. Speaker changes are denoted by paragraph breaks only.
First Name: Label speakers by first name. If 'First Name' is selected by default and no speaker names are available, speakers will be labeled by gender.
First and Last Name: Label speakers by first and last name. If 'First and Last Name' is selected by default and no speaker names are available, speakers will be labeled by gender.
Numbered: Label unidentified speakers as SPEAKER 1: SPEAKER 2: SPEAKER 3: according to when they chronologically appear in the file.
By Gender: Label unidentified speakers by gender.
Order Instructions
