Following on from last years trial, we are keen to hire some more Student Caption Editors to work with us again starting in February 2023.
Student Caption Editors
We know that captions are incredibly popular with students and that many use them regularly. We use Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) to generate captions on all Re/Play content. ASR is not perfect and does generate mistakes. The UoB Digital Education Office (DEO) are looking to recruit 16 Student Caption Editors to help correct captioning errors. Initially we are targeting teaching material from Law, Economics and Biochemistry as they traditionally have high numbers of student views. Candidates with other areas of study will be considered. To apply for this role, you need to be a current student at the University of Bristol. You’ll be working an average of 5 hours per week for a year.
