Count the Videos Without a Transcript and the Hours to Add Them

A video library grows one upload at a time, and the transcript gap grows with it until someone counts the backlog.

What this guide helps you do

Turn video count, videos with transcripts, average length, and minutes a video minute into backlog hours.

Who this guide is for

Teams with a recorded library, a course archive, or a help channel and an accessibility deadline.

Use the source document or official route that applies to your situation. This guide does not contact another person or verify external information.

Steps

  1. Count the videos

    Count the published videos in the library, not the drafts.

  2. Count the transcripts

    Count the videos with a transcript you would publish as it stands.

  3. Use the average length

    Average the last ten videos. A few long recordings move the figure.

  4. Time a video minute

    Transcribing or editing a machine draft takes minutes for every minute of video.

  5. Read the backlog

    The App shows the coverage share and the hours to close the gap.

Worked example

Fifteen of 24 videos have no transcript, so coverage is 37.5 percent. At 12 minutes a video and three minutes a video minute, the backlog takes 9.00 hours.

  1. Missing videos = 24 - 9 = 15
  2. Coverage = 9 ÷ 24 = 37.5 percent
  3. Hours = 15 × 12 minutes × 3 = 540 minutes, or 9.00 hours

Use your own source and details. The example is not a record about a real person or organization.

Compare two worked cases

Two libraries. Both are examples.

Both cases are examples, not records about a real person. The bars show the same numbers the free App computes.
