Re: Fwd: Universal Subtitles will caption your videos!



I've been working with the Miro Community folks to figure out how to add
Universal Subtitles functionality to videos on GNOME Miro Community
(http://gnome.mirocommunity.org/).  It seems it's not too difficult.
Once a video has been registered with Universal Subtitles, there's some
embed code that I can just swap into GMC.

I'm definitely interested in doing that for GNOME videos on GMC for any
videos registered with Universal Subtitles.

Universal Subtitles is awesome. You can easily transcribe a video and then
localization folks can translate the text.

If there are particular GNOME videos we would like subtitles for, we should
add them ...

Hello Stormy,

I'm contacting you on the behalf of Dean Jansen at the Participatory Culture
Foundation. You might have heard of Universal Subtitles, a project we are
currently working that enables collaborative creation and editing of
subtitles for online video. Great for reaching an audience that doesn't
speak your language, or to improve accessibility for deaf and hard of
hearing users.

We're currently working on a list of social interest videos, as well as on a
page where deaf and hard of hearing users can suggest social videos they'd
like subtitled.  We are also working with organizations to ask what videos
they would like subbed. This is where you come in: its a chance for your
organization to get free captions and translations from volunteers.

So, if you'd like to send me links for one to four videos you'd like
captioned and translated, we'll get the ball rolling!

Best regards,

Ed
Participatory Culture Foundation
