Dedicated caption editors
Richard Browne

Good morning,
Is there a way to assign a role to a user which allows them to edit the ASR captions on a video without having the capacity to change anything else on that video?
If not, can I suggest this role be considered as a feature request?
Kind regards,
Richard

I requested this at least a year ago. Roles did not help. I hope we can get this solved soon. They just need to add a new role that will allow that person to edit captions only. Nothing else. They may need to create a module just for that out of the editor.
@Richard Browne Currently, there isn't a role that just allows editing the ASR captions. We can definitely add this as a feature request, so I'm going to move this post to the feature request section.
Hey @Kathryn do you know if this is in the dev pipeline? I think it would a great and popular feature to have.
This is a much-needed feature. Automated captions have a sub-optimal accuracy, we need a scalable way of implementing captions corrections. So, roles for a caption correctors, and ideally a workflow for prioritising, assigning for correction, verification/approval of corrections etc. Many institutions are likely to share this requirement.
@Louis Pliskin I confirmed that this is not currently planned for the first half of this year. However, this item will be considered for future development - we agree that it would be useful!
Just to reinforce the other comments, this is definitely needed. In order to comply with accessibility legislation, we need a feasible way of correcting captions. The ability to enable students or support staff to correct captions by assigning them a specific role would be really valuable.
@Kathryn do you know if there is an actionable timeline for this feature?
@Jimmy Wade Apologies for the long wait for a response - I was out of the office on leave. This feature request does not currently have a timeline assigned.
Hi @Richard Browne
Can I ask what options you have selected/deselected under the 'Role permissions'?
The role description and the permissions also make it look like it only has global rights.
Thanks
