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.

Amara Support Center : Joining Teams - 0 views

  • The three processes for joining a team is

      ... are
  • one of the team members will need to invite you first
    • Claude Almansi
       
      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.

Amara Support Center : What's a "Task" and why does it matter? - 0 views

  • in order for a subtitle to become published
    • Claude Almansi
       
      ... for a set of subtitles...
  • on a team
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Not only "to be published on a team": to be published at all.
  • The types of tasks required for publishing varies among teams.
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Either "The types... vary" or "The type... varies".
    • Claude Almansi
       
      "... varies from team to team" rather than "varies among teams".
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • There are four different types of tasks:
    • Claude Almansi
       
      This list should be reworded in better, simpler English.
  • You’re going to want to find an unassigned task, which means that no one else is working on it at the moment.
    • Claude Almansi
       
      The Tasks tab links to the /tasks/?assignee=none page anyway, which only shows unassigned tasks
    • Claude Almansi
       
      This also means that once someone has started working on a task, it doesn't appear anymore in the page linked to by the Tasks tab.
  • which can vary by team
    • Claude Almansi
       
      What should be done when a team hasn't configured a due date, and thus tasks remain assigned indefinitely to the person who started it?

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 : How to input subtitles after submitting a video to Amara - 0 views

  • Once you've submitted a video to Amara, you'll land on the Typing page
    • Claude Almansi
       
      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.

Amara Support Center : How do I download subtitles from Amara and upload them to my You... - 0 views

  • YouTube
    • Claude Almansi
       
      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.
  • Click the down-facing arrow that is to the right of the Edit button.

      The screenshot is obsolete.

Accessibility - Creators Justin Harris 2010-09-04 - 2 views

  • I don't know if there is some kind of script ning could run to see if someone is using a screen reader, and if so, could they generate a different admin interface? That way, those who don't need any changes could keep using the service as normal. But then blind users could check or uncheck items in a feature list. Then, depending on the feature, maybe ning could auto place the feature in a good spot, so that the users network still remains organizedd. I don't know if this would work. Just an idea. I just know that I would like to be able to manage my network 100% independently.
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Can this be done? If Ning can do it reasonably glitchlessly, I'll forgive them all the silly "Giand Swiss Knife" gimmicks like leaderboard....

    " * Posted by Justin Harris on September 4, 2010 at 12:20pm in Bugs and Issues Hello, I am a blind network creator and have noticed a few problems with ning accessibility. For the most part, the platform is quite accessible. But here's what I've found. 1. The area where you can add or take away features in your network is not accessible because of the drag and drop. While drag and drop can be done in some instances, it is very dificult, and at other times, it doesn't work at all. I always have to have someone help me with it. 2. I can't get ning chat to work. I've even tried third party solutions, but they use flash, which is not very blind friendly. I don't know if anything can be done about either of these problems, but I really hope so. I still want a site that looks good, but at the same time, accessibility in those areas would be nice. I don't know if there is some kind of script ning could run to see if someone is using a screen reader, and if so, could they generate a different admin interface? That way, those who don't need any changes could keep using the service as normal. But then blind users could check or uncheck items in a feature list.
