Captioning Configuration

Once you have added TelVue Connect as a remote server for Connect integration, if you have the SmartCaption™ automatic closed captioning enabled for your linked TelVue Connect organization, Captioning Configuration allows setting HyperCaster captioning defaults.

To manage Captioning settings go to Config → Captioning, under the TelVue Connect configuration section.

The Captioning Settings are as follows:

  • Caption Generation Enabled: Display-only field shows whether the linked TelVue Connect account has SmartCaption caption generation enabled.
  • Live Captioning Licenses: Display-only field shows how many SmartCaption LIVE channel licenses are available.
  • Available Caption Minutes: Display-only field shows the remaining SmartCaption minutes available for captioning tracked in your TelVue Connect account.
  • Use Smart Formatting?: Set the default Smart Formatting behavior. If selected, converts dates, times, series of digits and numbers, phone numbers, currency values, and internet addresses into more readable, conventional representations in the final transcript. Also converts certain keyword strings to punctuation symbols.
  • User Profanity Filter?: Set the default Profanity Filter behavior. If selected, filters profanity from all output except for keyword results by replacing inappropriate words with a series of asterisks. Uncheck the box to return results with no censoring.
  • Default Custom Language Model: Set the default Custom Language Model to be used when automatically generating captions. Leave blank to default to no custom language model. Custom Language Models are created and managed in TelVue Connect, and the HyperCaster automatically syncs the available models.
  • Default Customization Weight: Set the default Customization Weight for Custom Language Models. The customization weight tells us how much weight to give to words from the custom language model compared to those from the standard dictionary. 0.3 is the default and recommended setting. Higher values favor the custom model.
