Option 1: Run Automatic Speach Recognition (ASR)
Once a video has been uploaded and processed there is a delay before the Automatica Speach Recognition (ASR) can be run.
This delay is minimal for 5-10 minute videos but can be up to a day for videos longer than an hour.
Once you have generated the captions, they must be reviewed to ensure they are correct.
