Directory         1.     Nicholas Reville , Universal Subtitles for Linguists Message 1: Universal Subtitles for Linguists Date: 19-May-2011 From: Nicholas Reville <nprpculture.org> Subject: Universal Subtitles for Linguists E-mail this message to a friend Universal Subtitles is a free and open-source video translation and captioning toolset and service. Universal Subtitles is growing very quickly and being used by organizations like MIT, Al Jazeera, Alive in Egypt, Kahn Academy, and many more. It has a collaborative model that makes it easy to have multiple people involved in translation, for example native speakers working at different times and locations. We are starting to see some videos being submitted in rarer languages. We're also starting to experiment with supporting other types of time-aligned data that may be useful to linguists, like names of speakers, locations, etc. If you have any suggestions regarding how the toolset could be made to work better for linguists, please contact Nicholas Reville at nprpculture.org.
