Release date and time : September 17, 2015 around 11 PM
The NJVID software development team is glad to announce the launch of the following features on the night of September 17, 2015.
Updates pertaining to Closed Captions
- Closed caption search widget on media view page. Media resources which have captions will now include a widget which will let let users search for text or phrase and see all occurrences of the search term within the media resource . The user can also then jump to a scene in the media (video or audio) by selecting the desired result and time. The widget also lets the user search in multi-language closed captions if they have been added by the content owners or administrators.
- Search media resources using closed caption text
- If closed captions are available or added to a resource, the text within the captions will instantly be indexed and searchable. End users can find a media resource using the text present in the closed captions for that resource.
- Users will also be able to filter the search results for media content to display objects that have closed captions associated with them. This feature is presented as an additional search option under the Refine your search filter category.
- In search results, some media resources will have a “CC” message next to it to indicate that captions are available for viewing in the view page
