Creating Transcriptions With the Hyperaudio Plugin

Introduction

The Hyperaudio Plugin can create transcriptions (or subtitles) from audio files and video files. It allows the viewer to skip to various parts of the text and immediately listen to the place where the cursor points.

If your audio file is very large, you can convert the audio to a video file using YouTube or hosting it on SoundCloud (proprietary) or Spotify Podcast (currently free).

Watch video to see how to convert audio files to youtube video:

Step One

There are most likely many ways to implement this plugin. In this example we will use YouTube and SavSubs.

First, we need to create the transcription file. The best format to use is SRT.

For YouTube conversions, go to https://savesubs.com/sites/download-youtube-subtitles

Fill in your YouTube URL and click on “Extract Links” for SRT file type (highlighted below):

You should see the following after clicking on Extract Links:

Click on the SRT box highlighted above and your file will be downloaded to your computer.

Step Two

Now that we have the transcript file in a SRT format, go to your site’s Dashboard and click on Settings>>Hyperaudio.

You should see the following:

Hyperaudio uses shortcodes to display transcripts. Please note the example highlighted at the top. Copy the example and paste the shortcode into your page or post. Click publish so that you do not lose it.

Next, you back to Settings>>Hyperaudio. Scroll down to the converter.  This is where you need to paste your SRT file in order to get the hypertranscript that you need.

Open your SRT file in a text editor and copy the entire file into your clipboard. Then paste it the space labelled “Paste Here”. Choose SRT as the file format. Hit the Convert button.

At this point you can click on “Rendered View” and edit the transcription. You will probably want to capitalize the beginning word at the start of each sentence.

Next, go back to “Markup View” and copy the entire hypertranscript file to your clipboard and go back to your page or post where your shortcode was saved. Now you need to make the following changes.

  • Overlay the example’s “span” tags with your hypertranscript data that is in your clipboard. Be careful not to lose the tags at the end. You should just overlay the “span” tag.
  • Find the embed code of your YouTube video. Click the share button and copy the URL that is located inside the iframe code.
  • Past the embed URL into the src attribute on the first line of the shortcode.
  • Your shortcode is now complete. Click on update

Your should now see the results below:
