AST integrates CaptionSync with Panopto’s CourseCast system, which offers automated video capture, streaming, search and archiving solutions. Automated capture solutions allow organizations to quickly and effectively capture presentations, courses and meetings and present this material in a comprehensive, accessible and searchable playback environment.
Using CaptionSync with Panopto
The CaptionSync workflow is fully integrated into the Panopto CourseCast system. Captioning CourseCast lectures is accomplished clicking the “Request Captioning” button in your CourseCast system. You can also configure CourseCast to automatically caption lectures immediately after capture. See our Panopto tutorial for an overview on how to configure and use your Panopto system with CaptionSync.

Video Search
Panopto uses AST’s captions and timecode sync to allow users to use word search to locate a precise point in the material. It also aids in cataloging. CourseCast allows viewers to scroll through the captions and click on any one to jump right to that point in the video. CourseCast also provides a powerful Search tab that allows viewers to perform text searches on the captions to find with pinpoint accuracy the areas of the video of interest. Play with a captioned CourseCast lecture to experience the power of caption-based searching for yourself.
