6. Captioning and Transcripts
6.1. About
This document includes information about the TRANSCRIPT and TRANSCRIPT-ES datastreams.
Every oral history should have a TRANSCRIPT in English that should be used for closed captioning and a searchable index. If the oral history was conducted in Spanish, it will also have a TRANSCRIPT-ES.
6.2. Expectations for Delivery
Since the beginning, we intended to do this project in IIIF presentation v3. To understand expectations for delivery, here is one of our sample manifests for RFTA in Mirador.
It only has a transcript in English, so you do not see Spanish as an option when you click the captioning button. Furthermore, since captions should be optional, you have to click it to turn that on.
This is being done currently following the IIIF specification. A full sample of the manifest is below. The important bit here though is on lines 66-82:
{
"id": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markpbaggett/utk_iiif_recipes/main/raw_manifests/rfta_video/canvas/page/annotation2",
"type": "Annotation",
"motivation": "supplementing",
"body": [{
"id": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markpbaggett/utk_iiif_recipes/main/raw_transcripts/20200313_Schwartz_John-Reamer_Salley_Canvas_corrected.vtt",

"language": "en"
}],
"target": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markpbaggett/utk_iiif_recipes/main/raw_manifests/rfta_video/canvas"
}
You can see that the canvas has a W3C Web Annotation with a label of captions in English targetting the canvas. It has a motivation of supplmenting to suggest that it can be optionally rendered by the viewer.
It is important to note that Presentation v3 states that only annotations with the motivation of painting can be
included in the items property. All others must be in the annotations property. This is an issue in
our current implementation of iiif_assemble and
canopy and must be corrected in our next system.
This is unlike the Annotation that paints the actual audio or video to the viewer since it should always be displayed.

}
],
"target": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markpbaggett/utk_iiif_recipes/main/raw_manifests/rfta_video/canvas"
},
If this also had a Spanish transcript, we’d have another W3C Web Annotation with the motivation of supplementing,
a different label, and a different language. The target is the same.
