Amara Support Center : How can I decline a task - 0 views

  • How can I decline a task
    • Claude Almansi
       
      This is still the page that was already obsolete when I submitted the ticket http://support.universalsubtitles.org/support/tickets/2176 for it on June 25, 2012 closed unanswered by Darren Bridenbeck on July 29, 2012. Here is the ticket's content: TED videos are a very particular case, because TED wants workflowed tasks, has provided for them in the settings, and has an external-to-Amara communication support. The problem I have is with tasks arbitrarily imposed by the Amara software in groups that don't want them and whose settings don't foresee them. What happens if I delete such a task? Does it get reassigned to an admin working for Amara, or at random to any other participant of the group, possibly already struggling with Amara-arbitrarily-imposed tasks her/himself? Then your screenshot also shows the Reassign option: that option does not appear to the assignee if s/he is a member. I don't know about managers, not having yet been hit by an Amara imposed task in a team where I am one. Moreover: in http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/teams/newshour/tasks/ , there is a task assigned to me to "Transcribe English Subtitles" of http://www.universalsubtitles.org/videos/4cQljmM3piqA/info/watch-marco-rubios-full-speech-on-immi…, without a link to the latest draft, because Amara also fully deleted that draft, which amounted to the transcript of the first 9 min+ of the video (the 2 revisions I made are still mentioned in the activity stream in my dashboard page, over 9 hours after that arbitrary deletion). For that task, the drop-down menu only offers me two options: Start Now or Upload Draft. No way to decline it. So if you insist on having screenshots about tasks, you should have one for each of the fanciful ways Amara presents tasks to people, and use a video added to a normal team where tasks are arbitrarily imposed by Amara, not a video added to TED where tasks are a choice.

Amara Support Center : Setting up your account - 0 views

  • Go to http://www.amara.org
    • Claude Almansi
       
      So Amara has acquired http://www.amara.org since May 2012, according to a whois. Yet the link still redirects to http://www.universalsubtitles.org
  • You can either create an account directly through Amara, or if you can access Amara with any of your twitter, OpenID, Google, facebook, or TED logins.
    • Claude Almansi
       
      It should read: "... or you can access Amara..." (without "if")
  • hover over the “me” link in the upper righthand corner of any page in Amara
    • Claude Almansi
       
      The link is not called "me" but people's usernames.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Was this article useful? Yes or No
    • Claude Almansi
       
      If you click "No", you are invited to submit a ticket. And Amara has now decided to close all tickets and ask users to use the forum instead. So something must be changed: either this forum-only policy, or the link on "No" in the feedback dialogue.
  • You can add multiple languages
    • Claude Almansi
       
      "You can add further languages" would be clearer.

"Michael Moore on the Rachel Maddow Show - Part 1 (11/3/11)" with English subtitles | A... - 0 views

  •  
    "Showing Revision 3, created Yesterday by Avatar of Claude Almansi . " Yesterday = June 9, 2011 (?) "Avatar of Claude Almansi" is not a member of the Occupy Wall Street team. When viewing these subs signed in as this Avatar, only "Revision 0 - 02/07/2012 - by Claude Almansi" was showing, made 4 months before the Amara software started taskblocking videos. There was a "Roll back to this version" button, so I used it to see what would happen. The reversion removed the "Draft only Showing Revision 2, created 06/07/2012 by Claude Almansi . " banner of the former revision and reactivated the formerly disabled Edit Subtitles link. Of course, it also suppressed the subs that had been added in Revisions 1 and 2. All revisions can be viewed by admins (perhaps also managers members) of the team but they cannot roll back to any of them. The task added by the Amara software to these subtitles at the time of Revision 1 remains: "Transcribe English Subtitles Video: Michael Moore on the Rachel Maddow Show - Part 1 (11/3/11) (08:23) Subtitles: latest draft transcribed by Avatar of Claude Almansi" Comment: In this case, I control both "Claude Almansi" and "Avatar of Claude Almansi" users, and I saved the Revision 2 subtitles as Claude Almansi (admin at Music Captioning) before reverting to Revision 0 with the avatar (not member of the team). But the same rolling back could be done on any taskblocked subs of the team by any Amara user who is not a member of it, thus making successive work unavailable
  •  
    14/06/2012 The situation remains identical: as admin, I can't roll back to the version preceding the one in which, as a non member, I rolled back to version0

      No. You'll land on the main page for subtitling the video. To get to the transcribing (phase 1) of the widget, you must first request the opening of the subtitling widget.

" Today= June 12, 2012 Amara software added link, disabled Edit subtitles link, didn't create a task To be expected, but I tried nonetheless to start these French subs because the English subs miraculously escaped the Amara software's overriding the Music Captioning settings and imposing ghost tasks, even though I edited the English subs on June 8, 2012.

      Why only YouTube? subs made with Amara can be added to videos on other platforms too.
  • At present, YouTube uses Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) for English videos and transcripts, with plans to roll out this service for other languages
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Obsolete: YT has already added Japanese and Spanish, at least.

    "Draft only Showing Revision 0, created 06/08/2012 by Margherita Martignoni ." Amara software added this banner, disactivated the Edit subtitles link, but didn't add a task for these subs. Video added to Music Captioning team Margherita Martignoni is not a member of Music Captioning: she therefore cannot have caused the task that caused the banner etc. June 12, 2012: issues persist
  •  
    June 14, 2012: issue persists, but then this link didn't get transfered to this Multimedia Accessibility group with the my other links tagged taskblocked, so these subs didn't undergo the manual fix that removed the Amara task blocks in the other subs. I am able to enter the widget version of the subs by main page via Start a new translation in the main page, then choosing Subtitle into Italian (100%) (normal link, not grayed) Directly from video (more work) I was able to change a few things, but though I saved the subs marking them as complete, the banner is still there. I.e. the "lying to the software" workaround indicated in http://support.universalsubtitles.org/categories/6573/forums/28027/topics/4905 only works to prevent the taskblocking, but cannot remove it.

      A team where joining is by invitation only is hardly likely to let any member invite other people. So an explanation on how to use the filter to find the team's admins might be useful, especially in large teams that often have totally inactive admins.
