Creating Accessible Courses help with caption generator in YouTube
In today's webinar "How to Create Accessible Courses with Articulate 360" David mentioned uploading a video to YouTube as a caption generator tool. When I do that the caption is saved as an sbv file. I don't see an option to change this file type to the recommended vtt file. I found an online converter Go Transcript but that is counterproductive. How do I change the format to the caption download?
I enjoyed this webinar today.
Thank you,
Annette
If you use Youtube to create captions, you should see these options (I just checked 4/2/24).
Another free option to create captions is here. Someone else in the community just told me that it worked for them.

While I've done the YouTube caption process before, Riverside's free transcription service is free and just as accurate as YouTube. I find that to be a simpler process than YouTube, although I wish the captions broke in more natural places.
I also collected a list of captioning tools after a recent LinkedIn discussion. I haven't tried many of these, but there are a bunch of options available.
