SpeedGrader: Studio Media Comment Screen Capture and Auto Captioning

In SpeedGrader, the Studio media recorder is introduced for screen capture and captioning. This update enhances the clarity of instructor feedback and improves accessibility by providing a streamlined user experience.

- Canvas comment section labeled “Comments for this Attempt.” Text box allows users to add comments with emoji options below. Buttons for attachments, media, and audio comments are shown beside a “Submit” button. A red box highlights the new icon feature next to the “NEW” label.

When creating a media comment in SpeedGrader, click the Screen Capture drop-down menu [1] and then select Enabled [2] to screen record. Captioning is auto-enabled for voiceovers. 

- Canvas Record/Upload Media Comment window showing two recording options. Tabs at the top let users choose between Record Media and Upload Media. A dropdown labeled “Screen Capture” with Enabled or Disabled options is highlighted. Blue “Start Recording” button appears on the right beside the recording controls.

The Studio screen capture and captioning features for media comments are only available in SpeedGrader. Additionally, the recorder is only available in Chrome and Edge. Currently, there are no plans to introduce support for Firefox and Safari in the recorder.
