Hi, I'm new in the pootle development but not in python/django. I proposed the following idea that I will be developing during the next months keeping contact with the pootle devs and respecting the pootle arquitecture.
Description: Pootle still doesn't have support to transcribe into subtitles the online streaming videos/audios that we can find at Youtube, Vimeo, etc. Currently there are some propietary online apps that can do that, (dotsub.com, subtitle-horse.org , etc) , but nothing open source, yet. A start to this project would be to provide the core support in Pootle to create a transcription from a video streaming url. The transcription page view should have a flash player embedded(recommended the JW FLV Player with Copyleft license) so the user can adjust the timing of the subtitles. In addition Pootle should allow to distinguish transcriptors, proofreaders and translators users. And have different permission rights for them. The interface should support the ability to play the audio/video at the time position where the phrase is. Extra features: - Support to configure a Speech Recognition tool or API to automatize a initial transcription done by machine. - Support to configure a multi-lingual speech synthesis system tool (e.g. Festival) to provide audios of the translated subtitles. - Modifying the source code of the JW player to provide a fast access to the subtitles list for each video(e.g. SubPly player) Reference code: JW player. http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/browser/tags/mediaplayer-5.0 Reference links: dotsub.com subtitle-horse.org Subply Player: http://www.longtailvideo.com/addons/plugins/69/SubPLY?q=subtitles I hope you can give me some feedback about it, how can we adapt the Pootle model to support this, etc Many thanks.
