Please create a 6-8 minute recorded audio-video presentation of your work that explains your research or design project to the SIGDOC audience, along with a verbatim transcript<\/strong> or captioning file<\/strong> that can be used for captioning and accessibility purposes, and an abstract<\/strong> of no more than 150 words that can be shared publicly. If you are a panel of presenters, each member of your panel is invited to create a 6-8 minute audio-video presentation. Although we are open to all creative approaches to video, many presenters of research papers, experience reports, industry insights, and panels likely will want to record their voices while showing presentation slides. For all presentation types, you may use video editing software if it is available and convenient to you for basic editing, titles, etc; however, this is not required. Below we share more details and general guidelines for producing your presentation content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One method for recording your presentation is to use a videoconferencing technology to record a meeting in which you present with slides. The following links take you to tutorials that describe how to record a meeting using common video conference software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One advantage to Zoom Cloud recording is that it will create a verbatim transcript of your recording that you can adjust to use as your transcript. For more information, see Using Audio Transcriptions for Cloud Recording \u2014 Zoom Help Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also create pre-recorded presentation content using PowerPoint. The following link will take you to a tutorial that describes how to add audio to a slide presentation, which can be exported to video format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Microsoft PowerPoint: Record a Slide Show with Narration and Slide Timings \u2014 Office Support<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Submitting verbatim transcripts or captioning files will help ensure that your content is as accessible as possible to conference attendees. Transcripts are verbatim, word-for-word scripts of the words spoken in your video, while captioning files (such as SRT) include numbers, timestamps, and words spoken. We can accept either kind of file for creating your video captions. Your video programs may offer integrated support for creating transcripts or captions; however, we offer the following tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To create a transcript file,<\/strong> we recommend typing out a word-for-word script of your presentation before recording your video and then adjusting that script after speaking to create your transcript. You can also use a machine-aided transcription service to generate a transcript and adjust the output. Finally, as mentioned previously, Zoom cloud recording will also generate an automatic machine-aided transcript that also can be adjusted as your transcript:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tips for Creating a Script Before Recording: Write an Engaging Script \u2014 Screencast-o-matic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Google Docs: Type With Your Voice \u2014 Docs Editor Help<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Speechnotes: Speech to Text Online Notepad<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Zoom: Using Audio Transcriptions for Cloud Recording \u2014 Zoom Help Center<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n To create a captioning file in a basic captioning format such as SRT or VTT,<\/strong> you can begin with an existing transcript and add additional content manually in a text editor or by using a free online captioning support program. You can also generate a captioning file from a video that you upload to YouTube: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Manually Creating an SRT file in a Text Editor: How to Create a SRT File \u2014 3 Play Media<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Amara: Watch How to Caption and Translate Video \u2014 Amara Support Center<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n YouTube: Export YouTube\u2019s AutoGenerated Captions \u2014 California State University Fullerton<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are submitting a poster, please create a visual digital poster<\/strong> in PDF format, along with a 6-8 minute audio<\/strong> explanation or walk-through in MP3 format that explains your research or design project to the SIGDOC audience, along with an abstract<\/strong> of no more than 150 words that can be shared publicly. For accessibility purposes, you should include a verbatim transcript of any audio files<\/strong>, which should include a description of any elements of your poster that are not already explained in your accompanying audio explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please create your poster using PowerPoint, Adobe Illustrator, Canva, or any other appropriate visual editing program. Your poster should meet typical SIGDOC poster conventions. The maximum dimensions are 3 feet x 4 feet. The file size may not exceed 25MB, and you must save your file as a PDF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To provide context for your poster, you may create an audio file that introduces viewers to your project and to your poster. Many phones include a voice recording app that will enable you to record an audio file directly to your phone (i.e., Voice Memo on iOS; free apps such as Voice Recorder for Android). You may also also use Audacity, a free software download that allows you to both record and edit audio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Audacity: Your First Recording \u2014 Audacity Help<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nUsing a Web Conference Platform to Record Video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
