Note that this is a very technology-heavy idea, and will need some tech-hackers to work on the code implementation. In the meantime, it should be possible to create the wiki and start adding transcripts by hand.

The problem: Audio on the web is not accessible to people with hearing disabilities or those who speak a language other than the one recorded.

The idea: A website where you can type in the url of any audio or video file and see the transcript for that file as the file itself plays. For instance, you enter the url of a YouTube video which has been filmed in Urdu, but you speak Portuguese; the video plays in one half of your browser and the transcript (translated to Portuguese) is displayed in the other half.

The catch: The "database" is actually a wiki, with each transcript as a separate wikipage. That way, people can edit, add to, and correct transcripts, translate them into different languages, and merge/redirect transcripts of identical files. When someone enters a file url into the WikiTranscript site, a few things happen:

  • The site checks to see if the transcript is already in its database. If so, it directs the person to that transcript and finishes. If not...
  • The site checks whether the file is in an audio or video format that is readable to WikiTranscript, and that the audio quality is sufficient to start a machine translation. If so, it passes the audio through a speech recognition engine and outputs the results on a wikipage, then directs the person to that transcript. If not, it displays a "sorry, I can't understand this file either" message and offers the option to try doing a manual transcription, or to request someone (from a pool of volunteers) to do a manual transcription.

The technologies: Probably using Mediawiki for the wiki engine. Mel Chua is looking for people to experiment with various open source speech recognition engines to see if the transcription quality is adequate.

Interested mentors

Mel Chua

Contact info on userpage. I've got a personal interest in this project, since I'm hearing-impaired and frustrated by the amount of content on the web (podcasts, videos) that's utterly inaccessible to me. Have experimented a little with open-source speech recognition engines in the past, can help with technological aspects of the project as well as community-building.
