+1 This would make a great contribution.
I used Universal Subtitles recently to create caption text and loved it.
Downloading them from US and getting into the right format for
Matterhorn was not so straightforward, though. But doing this on the
Engage side so others (students?) could possibly contribute to the
subtitling would be a smart idea.
Thanks!

Great to hear that the work has started!
http://www.universalsubtitles.org is an amazing easy to use interface
for subtiteling videos and we can hopefully feature this great
community also!

Hi list,
I just wanted to say, that we currently have an intern for some weeks
here that has the task to write a module that it is hopefully easy
possible to use Universal Subtitles
(http://www.universalsubtitles.org) with Matterhorn.
The idea is to add a button to the engage player that anyone can
press to get to the Universal Subtitles (their hosted service, or a
local installation depending on the matterhorn configuration).
The current status of this small project is that the intern had a
closer look at universal subtitles, and we are quite confident that
we could realize this hopefully without changes to universal
subtitles and without any major changes to matterhorn.
There are still some small open questions, how we can add the subs to
the distributed mediapackage i.e. We will bother the people who might
know this, if we get stuck.
We will provide this as a contrib module.
I just announce this here to avoid that others might work on
something like this simultaneous. So speak up if you already have
something similar. We decided not to finish OpenCaps that still had
several bugs, because the workflow to subtitle a video in Universal
Subtitles is much more user-friendly and we can have several users
working on the subtitling of one video.
