About
About
In recent years there has been great technical progress and innovation in online video. A particularly interesting practice is the use of captions and transcripts to facilitate and speed up video production.
The goal of this workshop is three-fold:
- To provide an overview of current software projects and practices;
- Explore challenges in the ecosystem, from transcription to URL addressability, GUIs for collaboration, automation, muxing and beyond;
- To catalyse new open source collaborations to further build out the ecosystem.
We anticipate participation from technology companies (Mozilla, IBM, YouTube) journalism (BBC, Buzzfeed, Fusion, NYT, FT, WSJ, Vox Media), public interest media (Internet Archive, Wikimedia, NPR), and others.
This is a volunteer-run event, but limited travel funding is available thanks to our generous friends at OpenNews. Please reach out if you are in need of funding or can help out in this regard
