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:

Reference links:

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.
Ivan.
