When LongScribe helps with Kaltura
Review lecture and training transcripts while keeping institutional access rules intact.
Kaltura video to transcript
Paste a compatible public Kaltura video, player or embed URL and LongScribe resolves the media and transcribes the spoken audio.
Lectures, webinars and enterprise video
Use transcripts to search university lectures, webinars and other enterprise video hosted on Kaltura.
Enterprise video infrastructure, not one organization
Kaltura is used by many universities and companies with their own access controls; LongScribe supports reachable public Kaltura media rather than promising every organization's videos will work.
Source restrictions still apply
Organization login, private entries or other Kaltura access controls can still make an individual video unavailable.
Example prompts after transcription
Ask LongScribe: "Turn the lecture into study notes and find the section that defines the main concept." Answers can be grounded in the completed transcript instead of relying on the source title alone.
