Zoom supports both CART captioning (in which a professional captioner attends the meeting and types captions in real time) and ASR (computer-generated) captioning.

A new, unique token is created each time you start a meeting, even if you use the same meeting link. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) captions and transcripts are available for any Zoom meeting hosted by a Bryn Mawr College Zoom account. As a default setting, any participant can turn on captions for a meeting. To turn on captions for a meeting, do the following: Once one participant turns on captions, all participants will be able to see them. Click Show Captions or More > Captions > Show Captions to do so. Click Hide Captions or More > Captions > Hide Captions to turn them back off. Captions can also be viewed as a transcript by all participants. This can be accessed by clicking the up arrow icon next to Show/Hide Captions. From there, select Captions > View Full Transcript (or Captions > Hide Full Transcript to make it go away). Tip: If you want a saved record of the transcripts, be sure to record the meetings to the cloud. That way, you will be able to access the recording and transcript in Panopto.
