Transform Your Video Library with Automated Transcription

Kaltura is a leading enterprise video platform used by organizations worldwide to host, manage, and deliver video content at scale. OpenAI Whisper API brings state-of-the-art speech recognition to any workflow, producing accurate transcripts in dozens of languages. Together, these two tools create a powerful pipeline for turning raw video into searchable, accessible, and reusable content.

With Neotask connecting Kaltura and OpenAI Whisper API, your team can eliminate the manual effort of transcribing recordings, training sessions, webinars, and on-demand video assets.

What You Can Automate

• Automatic caption generation: When a new video is uploaded to Kaltura, Whisper API transcribes the audio and attaches captions automatically, without any manual steps.
• Subtitle file export: Generate SRT or VTT subtitle files from Whisper transcripts and push them back to the correct Kaltura media entry.
• Transcript indexing: Extract Whisper output as plain text and store it alongside Kaltura metadata, making video content fully searchable by keyword.
• Multi-language support: Whisper handles over 50 languages, enabling multilingual transcript generation from a single Kaltura video catalog.
• Compliance and accessibility: Automatically meet accessibility standards by ensuring every published video has accurate captions before it goes live.

Key Benefits

Combining the Kaltura video platform with the Whisper transcription API delivers measurable improvements across content operations:

• Speed: Transcription runs in the background immediately after upload, cutting turnaround from hours to minutes.
• Accuracy: Whisper's deep learning model produces high-quality transcripts even for technical vocabulary, accents, and noisy audio.
• Scale: Handle hundreds of videos per day without adding headcount or manual review queues.
• Discoverability: Full-text search over transcripts helps viewers and internal teams find specific moments inside long recordings.
• Cost efficiency: Replacing manual transcription services with API-driven automation significantly reduces per-video costs.

Who Benefits Most

This integration is especially valuable for enterprise learning and development teams managing large course libraries, media companies publishing interviews and event recordings, higher education institutions required to caption all video content, and corporate communications teams distributing town halls and product demos.

Neotask makes it straightforward to build this pipeline without writing custom code. Connect your Kaltura account, configure your Whisper API key, and define the trigger conditions that kick off transcription automatically.
