Creation of English Guidance Video for One-Year-Regular (OYR) Students (Text-to-Speech and Video Capture Software)
A “Outline of Course Registration Procedures” video for OYR students was uploaded to the New Student Orientation website, recorded in English using text-to-speech and video capture software. As this video can be used each year, it has helped to reduce the administrative burden.
In addition, the use of text-to-speech (in English) made it possible to record the video more quickly after preparing the captions, as there was no need for English-language narration.
