We have many videos on YouTube and we would like to offer automatic YouTube transcript alignment for site visitors. What we want is pretty much like this example.
But instead of word by word automatic alignment, we would like sentence by sentence alignment, such as this example (please click the "Show Transcript" button)
We have captions for our YouTube videos already. We want to put transcript and video side by side, exactly like the example on 3playmedia.com.
Could anyone kindly suggest me how to do that?
Thank you!
You can use CMUSphinx for that, see Aligner demo in the tutorial http://cmusphinx.sourceforg.net/wiki/tutorialsphinx4
There is a paid solution at voicebase.com which even does PCI - Compliance and redaction (http://voicebase.readthedocs.io/en/v2-beta/how-to-guides/pci-ssn-pii-detection.html)
I have not tried it yet but looks very promising.

The company I work for makes a software for, among other things, providing real time captions which includes YouTube live event captions.
We're running into an issue where chevrons are being sanitized to >in the process of being handed to YouTube and displayed on the stream. We're assuming YouTube is looking to receive some other string or code to properly display chevrons in the captions, but I can't seem to find any information along those lines in the documentation we have.
If anyone has any insight as to what we can do to get chevrons to display properly, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I am working on a Youtube video site and would like to implement interactive transcript feature like this one: http://demo.jwplayer.com/iframes/interactive-transcript/ (I have video transcript and caption files, in SRT and WebVTT format. I will not use Youtube's machine transcribed transcript.)
I did a research online. It appears that there is no free plug-in/module that can do this. There are some paid options, such as Captionbox (http://speakertext.com/captionbox) ,3rdMediea, SubPly (http://www.subply.com/en/Products/InterActiveTranscript.htm BTW: this is the best I have found so far. It loads transcript in different languages on the fly). I am reluctant to use these paid options, primarily because I do not want to rely on a single provider.
Can someone please advise me a better option?
Thank you.
You can always write your own solution:
Read YouTube API Dosc:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference?csw=1
Check getCurrentTime()
Read transcript from file/database/hiddendiv and display it if getCurrentTime == textTime from your transcript then just highlight it (like in captionbox example).
I'm trying to add a caption to a video when I upload it to youtube. The caption would say something like "Brought to you by Company ABC".
The way Google has described it here seems very long winded and complex. Additionally, there is no link to usage with the Java API.
Does anyone know a simple way of doing this?
Thanks,
Gearoid.
What you are looking for might be more properly called an "annotation" (or in this case "premercial") than a "caption".
(A caption would be an appropriate term if someone was actually speaking "Brought to you by Company ABC", and you wanted people to be able to know that with no sound...either because they had the sound off, or were scanning the video programmatically, or because they are hearing-impaired.)
There is apparently no programmatic API at this point in time for using YouTube's native annotation features:
Annotating YouTube videos programmatically
If you wanted to prepend a title card of some kind to your video (like it's your space to inject an advertisement) you can read around for approaches to do that operation before the upload:
Stitching together multiple videos without gap
You'd have a lot more options for making that intro sequence look spiffy, then.
I would like to take a YouTube video of a lecture and sync it with another area displaying the (powerpoint/pdf) slides being discussed in the lecture.
For example, knoodle.com does this but for a price. I wonder if anyone has implemented something like that and what framework (Flash, HTML5, etc) they used.
Another good specific example can be found here. It shows exactly the kind of video-slide side-by-side visual I'm looking to create.
I'm the author of presentz.org.
Presentz is an opensource software that lets you mix youtube/vimeo/video files with slideshare/speakerdek/images.
It's also free to use.
Try authorpoint software. It does that.
onion.tv provides the functionality you are looking for and many others that can enrich video presentations and overall engagement with videos. It's hosted online - videos stays where they are e.g. at youtube and metadata stays at onion.tv
I have been looking everywhere but I cannot seem to google it right so I am hoping that someone can help me. Is there any way that I can program something like the "Messages" area in iOS? particularly the iPhone.
Here's a photo of the message area if my explanation was not clear:
http://www.zmetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/iphone-sms.jpg
There's been lots of blog posts on this subject that you can find with Google. One such detailed explanation is at http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/sms-bubble-ui-iphone-apps
Be aware that Apple has rejected apps for treading too closely on the UI of the Messages app in the best, so proceed with caution: http://www.ipodnn.com/articles/09/09/02/chat.bubble.app.rejection/
Yes you can.
I guess there are many ways to do that. but it is look like a simple UIScrollView and another view that dynamically duplicates itself and formatted as bubble.
