Using the VideoMR tool, AI summaries are now generated automatically for any video booth-type survey answers, once you have transcribed the video in VideoMR
Please note: AI summaries are created for recordings and clips, but cannot currently be created for video montages
To get started, go to Back Room > Analysis Tools > VideoMR
Here, you will find your video library where you can see all videos available. Find and click into the Video Booth clip or recording you would like to summarise.
You will be able to find Video Booth generated videos by checking the source shown below the video is SurveyMR 2.0:
Filtering options
You can use the filters available on the left-hand side of the page to find specific videos. For example, filtering by date, project membership, or video source (for the full list of filter options, see below image).
Transcribing within a video
Once you have selected your video, scroll down the page and you will see the option to ‘Auto Transcribe’
Click the ‘Auto Transcribe’ button. You will then be asked which language you would like to transcribe in. For InsightHubs where multiple languages have not previously been added, the only option which will appear is English.
Once you have clicked ‘ok’, the site may take a few minutes to produce the transcription and will ask you to ‘check back later’.
After a few minutes, you can refresh the page, and your transcription will appear.
Auto-transcriptions for multiple videos
Go back to the Video Library page (showing all videos) –
Back Room > Analysis Tools > VideoMR
Click the button in the top right to change to list view
Then, apply preferred filters to find the videos you’d like to transcribe. For example;
Once you are happy with your selections, click the ‘Actions’ drop-down on the right-hand side, then click select all.
Click ‘Actions’ again, and select ‘Auto-transcribe’.
Once you have clicked ‘ok’, the site may take a few minutes to produce the transcription and will ask you to ‘check back later’. After a few minutes, you can refresh the page.
AI summaries
Go back to the Video Library page (showing all videos) –
Back Room > Analysis Tools > VideoMR
Click the button in the top right to change to list view
You will then see an AI summary, automatically generated for each video booth answer you have transcribed.
Please note: You do not need to carry out any actions in addition to the initial transcription, in order to generate AI summaries.
Enabling Captions in VideoMR
We have now introduced the option of enabling and downloading captions when viewing videos in the VideoMR tool.
Captions are currently available for:
- Recordings
- Clips
- Montages
Captions in the speaker’s language will be created automatically when you transcribe a video. When a recording is translated, a translated caption file will also be created.
- Go to any video which has previously been transcribed using the ‘Auto Transcribe’ function (see above).
- To see the captions within the recording, click on the three dots in the bottom right-hand corner of the video recording.
- You will see that captions are ’Off’ by default. Click on ‘Captions’ in the menu list that appears. You will then see the options below, in the order of:
- ‘Off’
- The original language of the speaker (if different to the default language set within your InsightHub)
- Then options to translate the captions into another language (which will normally be the default language set within your InsightHub, if different to the original language used to ‘Auto-Transcribe’ the video.
Click to the language you’d like to view captions in, to turn captions on in that language.
Viewing original language and translated captions
Downloading captions
1. In the list-view of the page (Back Room > Analysis Tools > VideoMR) you can download captions when downloading a video by selecting ‘Download with [language choice] Captions’ from the Actions drop-down button for your chosen video.
This will download a zip file (the file name will include the caption language and the ID of the recording).
2. You will then just need to unzip the file (make sure to keep the MP4 & VTT files together in the same folder so they can find each other).
3. Double click on the MP4 file to open it in your chosen media player (for example, Windows Media Player).
Depending on your media player, you will be able to see an icon on the screen which will show captions (this might also be labelled as ‘Subtitles’).
