    "1 luglio 2013 Antonella De Robbio Soltanto il 5% dei libri pubblicati nel mondo - meno dell'1% nei Paesi in via di sviluppo - è disponibile in formati accessibili per gli oltre 287 milioni di non vedenti e ipovedenti - in termini tecnici, visually impaired persons, persone con danni visivi - che non hanno accesso alla cultura nei supporti a stampa e in video, essendo inabilitate alla lettura per disabilità fisica. A fare fin qui da ostacolo il numero relativamente ristretto dei potenziali fruitori e, soprattutto, i vincoli posti dalle leggi a protezione dei diritti di proprietà intellettuale. Ma la situazione potrebbe cambiare: contro ogni aspettativa, si è concluso positivamente in questi giorni lo storico trattato di Marrakech, in seno alla conferenza diplomatica Ompi (Organizzazione Mondiale per la Proprietà Intellettuale, Wipo) tenutasi dal 17 al 28 giugno 2013. Il lavoro di lobbing dei diretti interessati, appoggiati dalla Chiesa cattolica che si è ufficialmente schierata a favore del trattato, non ha precedenti in termini di efficacia. L'Unione mondiale dei ciechi (Wbu) denunciava il rischio che quattro anni e mezzo di negoziati su un nuovo trattato per le persone cieche o con difficoltà di lettura potessero concludersi con un vuoto accordo "di facciata" o con un nulla di fatto. "Un trattato per i non vedenti o per chi detiene i diritti?" ci si chiedeva anche tra le associazioni bibliotecarie, dopo la sessione informale e la sessione speciale del Comitato permanente per il diritto d'autore e diritti connessi dell'Ompi."

  • Overstream.net is another online captioning tool
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      Overstream does not work anymore.
  • A question that often comes up is how to “replace” the original YouTube video (without cc) with the newly cc’d version one creates with Universal Subtitles
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      1. It's not a matter of "replacing" the original video, but of adding the CC captions to it. 2. It does not only work with YouTube videos, but with videos hosted on any platform that supports CC (Internet Archive e.g.) 3. This does not only work with CC captions created on Universal Subtitles - well, Amara now - but with any CC captions
  • Universal
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      See above: this works with any CC captions, no matter what application you create them with.

  • you can NOT download a fully captioned video at this time
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      But you can download the video separately, and then play both the video and the captions on your computer with a desktop application.
  • You may have garbage content to remove near the beginning or end of the file if there is extra content in your transcript file, music, or other notations
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      No: the garbage content is produced by saving the Word file as .doc or as .rtf. Save as UTF-8 encoded plain text, with the original .sbv extension if Word lets you. Otherwise, with the .txt extension, and change the extension from .txt to .sbv afterwards.
  • Make changes to the .sbv file by opening in Word
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      Editing an .sbv file in Word is tricky: you might accidently delete some time codes. Much easier NOT to make the video private, and create a captioning page from it in an online app like Amara or DotSUB, add the caption file there and edit it there. Then download the edited captions and add them to YT. If you mind having the rough YT-produced captions showing, just write in the decription that they are still in progress.
  • Save as the same file type.
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      Actually: save with the same file extension - .sbv in your example - but be careful to save as UTF-8 encoded simple text file
  • on the native Word file
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      See above: it's quicker and easier if you use an online captioning platform. And you don't have to delete the automaticly synchronized captions until you're ready to upload the edited version.
  • Upload the new .sbv file “with timing” from the selection option. This is very quick. Click the video and see how it looks. Download the .sbv file again and repeat steps 8 through 12 until you are happy with the video.
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      Again, if you create a page from the YT video on a captioning platform, it's much simpler, as you can do the whole adjusting there without having to download and reupload each time you edit the captions.
  • We received this comment from Claude A: “These instructions concern adding a transcript to a YouTube video to have it timecoded into subtitles by the YouTube automatic synchronization feature.”
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      This could be cut: what I meant was that the title for this section could be changed to "Use the YouTube automatic synchronization to make captions from a transcript".

  • How can I decline a task
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 20 Jul 12
       
      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.
