AI Transcription automatically generates a transcript as soon as a video or audio file is uploaded to PhotoShelter.
After a file is uploaded to your Library, a transcript file (.srt format) is automatically generated and attached to the file within minutes of it being fully processed. Library Staff can download the file, manually edit any inaccurate text as needed, or remove it by clicking the trash can icon.
By turning on captions in the video player in both the library and the portal, videos will play with these captions.
Supported Files & Languages
- Video: English videos get an English transcript. Videos in a supported non-English language get a transcript labeled with the spoken language, plus an English translation next to it.
- Audio: Audio files (such as podcasts and interviews) get an AI transcript the same way videos do, as long as auto-tagging is enabled for your account.

Downloading, Editing the Labels, and Deleting a Transcription
For all actions related to the generated transcription file, select the video or audio file in the Center Pane of your Library, and in the Right Pane under the expanded “Captions & Subtitles” accordion you will see the generated file.
To download that file, hover over the transcription file and click the download arrow icon. The file is in .srt format. If you want to make manual adjustments to the transcription, you can download it and edit it in your preferred program. To re-upload the transcript file, click the blue "Click or drag to add" button, or simply drag the file over it.
To edit the language label of the caption file, the filename, or to change the label of the file from “subtitle” to “closed caption,” you can click the Edit icon, the second icon visible when hovering over the generated file. This will correspond to the labels available when the video is played back in PhotoShelter.
Classic UI:
To delete the transcription file, hover over it and click the trash can symbol. You will need to re-upload the video or audio file to have the transcription run again.
PhotoShelter’s AI Transcription will work for most English-language applications with 95-98% accuracy. Company-specific terminology, product or people names, and other uncommon words may be transcribed incorrectly.
