Order alignment services via KMC

About

Alignment service, also known as ordering captions based on a transcript file (.txt), synchronizes a provided script with the audio or video content. This is ideal for scripted videos, like training content, where the speaker reads from a prepared text.

Simply upload the transcript as a .txt file, and the alignment process will match the script to the timing of spoken words in the video. The system will align the txt with the video and provide a caption file (SRT/DFXP).If the speaker closely follows the script, this results in nearly 100% accurate captions.
