Searchable, readable transcripts
Your learners shouldn't have to rewind a 90-minute lecture to find the one concept they need. Recap generates clean, readable transcripts that are fully searchable, so users can find exactly what they're looking for and jump directly to that moment in the video.
- Full-text search across your entire video library
- Click any line to jump to that exact moment in the video
- Formatted for easy reading with speaker labels and timestamps
- Highlight and copy text for notes or study materials
- Accessible to screen readers for visually impaired learners
AI-generated summaries
Recap automatically generates concise summaries of your video content, giving learners a quick overview before watching or a convenient reference after. Summaries capture key topics, main takeaways, and important details, so your team can decide what to watch and quickly revisit what they've learned.
- Automatic summary generation for every transcribed video
- Key topics and takeaways extracted by AI
- Quickly scan a summary before committing to a full video
- Use summaries as study guides or meeting recaps
- Supports all 100+ transcription languages
This lecture covers the fundamentals of machine learning, focusing on the distinction between supervised and unsupervised learning. Dr. Martinez explains how neural networks extract features through layered processing and introduces backpropagation as the core training mechanism.
Descriptive sound cues
Transcription is not the same as professional captioning. Recap can automatically identify significant non-speech sounds and add bracketed descriptive cues such as [phone ringing] or [background music], following guidelines from the DCMP Captioning Key. Cues export automatically to your closed caption files.
- On by default when you transcribe with Recap
- Sound segments are labeled in the editor for easy review
- Available on new uploads and re-transcription of existing videos
- Helps deaf and hard of hearing viewers follow context beyond dialogue
Word Error Rate analysis
"We need a way to measure the accuracy and consistency of captions across our library of training videos. They've been created by folks across the organization, so quality varies."
That's a problem we hear all the time. Recap includes built-in Word Error Rate (WER) tooling that compares your captions against a reference transcript, word by word, so you can objectively measure accuracy across your entire library and pinpoint which files need attention.
- Compute WER across hundreds of files with substitution, deletion, and insertion breakdowns
- Color-coded pass/review/fail indicators so you can triage at a glance
- Word-level diff view highlights exactly where captions diverge from the reference
- Track quality over time as different teams contribute captions
- Set custom accuracy thresholds that match your organization's standards
Closed captions included with every transcript
Every transcript Recap generates also produces broadcast-quality closed captions. You get searchable transcripts, AI summaries, and closed captions from a single upload, in all major caption formats (WebVTT, SRT, TTML, SCC, and more).
