Quartex Makes It Easier to Edit Transcripts for Audiovisual Content
Adam Matthew Digital’s Quartex digital collections platform introduced a new feature, “edit A/V transcripts,” which improves discoverability and understanding of audiovisual content. Quartex notes that “where sound quality is poor or there is excessive background noise or music, correction of transcription files may be necessary. Users of Quartex can now edit these transcriptions and timecoding to significantly improve the experience for all users, including those who rely on accurate transcriptions to support screen reader technology.”“Editing our transcriptions with other vendors used to be a problematic, time-consuming process,” says Alex Cherian, TV archivist at the Bay Area TV Archive. “The release in Quartex of the ability to edit A/V transcriptions in-platform enhances its position as one of the most intuitive, user-friendly interfaces I’ve worked with. I’m now fully editing clip transcriptions in a few minutes, which is much more efficient.” For more information, read the news item.
