Points Management
Points are updated automatically in real time and can be consulted on the Points balance on the top right.
Points are allocated quarterly, because we know that some months are busier than others. Unused Points cannot be used during the following quarter they were purchased.
If you’re interested in overseeing the Points your team uses, you can nominate an administrator user from your team to allocate Points to the rest of the team.
The administrator user can:
Create different groups within your organization (e.g. Video desk, Picture desk).
Assign users to each group (e.g. Sara Brown to Video desk, David Moreno to Picture desk).
Assign Points to each group (e.g. 100 Points to Video desk, 50 Points to Picture desk). The sum of points allocated to all the groups should not be more than the total grant of the account.
Assign overages limits to each group.
Assign Permissions to each group (e.g. Users in the Picture desk group can only download pictures). You can choose single or multiple media types from Pictures, Graphics, Video, Live Video.
Consult and download excel usage reports for the groups in the current quarter.
Please note that users who are not part of any group would have no access to Points. So, please assign all users to groups if they intend to spend Points.
In order to manage your team’s Points, please reach out to your account manager with the email address of the administrator user and we’ll get you started very quickly.
As an administrator, you’ll now be the only user with the option of “My Organization” in the drop-down menu under your name. Click on it to start managing your team’s Points.
Click on Create Group to start
Give the new group a name, a Point allocation and select which media types and users should belong to the group to save the group.
You can edit the group details by clicking the EDIT button.
From DOWNLOADS button, you can check and download your team's usage during the quarter as an excel report

Automated Transcription, Translation and Identification
For many Reuters videos you will now find a feature that uses artificial intelligence to provide you with access to near-instant, time-coded speech-to-text transcripts, and identification of public figures as they appear in the video.
You can find this within the Item Detail.
The feature is available in 11 languages – English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Hindi – as well as any multi-language videos that are a combination of English, Spanish, German,
and French. For non-English video we also include an automated translation to English.
Video Transcription and Translation
To see the video transcript, on the right-hand side of the Item Detail you will see the “Full Transcript” icon, which when expanded will provide you the full transcript as captured by the underlying technology:
In cases where the video’s original language is in English, there will be a single view displaying the transcript.
English Language display:
While in cases where the video’s original language is not in English we will display two tabs, one for the original language and one for the automated translation:
Original Language tab:
Automated Translation tab:
By clicking on any quote or timecode within the transcript window, on either the Original Language or Automated Translation tabs, the video player will jump to the corresponding point in the video allowing you to quickly reference what
is said and by whom.
Public Figure Identification
The feature will also identify certain public figures who appear in the videos and allow users to easily navigate to those sections, enabling better and faster content discovery.
By selecting on the public figure tag (see screenshot below) of an identified person, the video player will jump to the point in the video they first appear.
The public figure tag also indicates in which sections of the timeline an identified person appears, giving you a sense of the proportion of the video they appear, while hovering over the light blue sections displays the exact time
codes they appear:
Reuters Video Archive: Automated Transcription, Translation & Identification FAQ
Below are some common questions and answers; for any additional queries please Contact Support.
What exactly is this?
As part of a recent project supported by the Google DNI Fund, we applied our fully automated Transcription, Translation & Identification capability to our entire Reuters
Video Archive – approximately one million video clips going back to 1896.
The purpose of this project was to use cutting-edge Machine-Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions to automatically extract additional contextual information locked within our deep and historic archive in order to
increase its discoverability across Reuters Connect.
How was this done?
At a high level this project comprised of 4 major tasks:
Deep analysis of the Reuters Video Archive to better understand the distribution of assets across the decades and gauge the quality of existing structured metadata across the archive.
Enhancements to our in-house Transcription, Translation & Identification technology capabilities in order to optimize our metadata extraction model and confidently process as much archival content as possible.
Prioritization of our archive video, including reviewing and annotating content with limited structured metadata, in order to focus the fully automated processing across assets that would return the highest confidence metadata.
Processing the Reuters Video Archive data corpus through our technology capability to extract as much automated metadata as possible.
Has the extracted metadata been humanly reviewed?
No, the metadata extracted by our system for this project—which encompasses an enormous volume of assets—has not undergone any direct human review. Our Transcription, Translation & Identification technology capability comprises of a
series of input controls and output scores that allow us to confidently make a determination on the quality of extracted metadata before putting it to use in Reuters Connect.
Despite these controls and checks we understand some inaccuracies may occur. If you have any questions or concerns about this feature, please raise them with our Support desk.
Is it available across all archival assets?
No. While we processed our entire Reuters Video Archive as noted above a combination of input controls and output scores designed into our metadata extraction system mean we will not display metadata that does not meet our
accuracy criteria.
How do you control the quality of the output?
To ensure we are displaying as accurate information as possible we use three primary levers:
Language: Our automated Transcription, Translation & Identification capability is available in 11 languages – English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Hindi – as well as
any multi-language videos that are a combination of English, Spanish, German, and French. If an archive video does not qualify for one of these language models, we do not display transcription and translation data although we may
display any public figures identified.
Existing Structured metadata: In order to assess if an archive video qualifies for one of our processing models, we look at an asset’s existing metadata as well as estimate output quality and utilize a number of analytical
techniques to determine appropriateness. For many archival assets these indicators were unfortunately suboptimal as metadata management capabilities were less sophisticated in years gone by. As such even if you come across a video
that may seem suitable if we were not able to computationally verify this, we do not display any data.
Confidence scores: There may be cases where an archival video qualifies into one of our processing models but the confidence scores associated to our output did not meet our thresholds due to the video/audio quality. In
