If your Zoom recording will be automatically or manually uploaded to Echo 360 (for publication to a Moodle course), the transcript created by Zoom will also be automatically copied across to Echo 360. The automated Zoom transcript should be edited in Echo360. Whether you edit it or not, the transcript will need to be manually applied as on-screen captions. This is only a one-click process however!

Note

However, do not apply an automatically generated transcript to closed captions (CC) where human authored captions already exist.

If your Zoom recording will manually uploaded to Echo 360 or the transcript fails to automatically transfer, the transcript created by Zoom can be uploaded to Echo 360 to be applied to your recording. The transcript can be checked and edited within Zoom before uploading to Echo 360, or you can edit using Echo360 as above.

  1. To download automatically generated captions from Zoom, go to the Recordings section of your Zoom profile page, select the recording, hover your mouse over the transcript and click the audio transcript download button (downward arrow icon).
