  1. #YouTube auto #subtitles seem to be no longer choking on regional accents and dialects ( in both #English and #German ) as much as it once did.

    They also now cope fine with folk from #Scotland speaking English with a #Scottish accent (although they can't yet correctly transcribe Scots)

    Whilst this is good for my language learning, it does make me a bit unnerved at how effective their #surveillance is becoming (and that if this what civillians have access to, the feds/military are likely to have even better stuff..)

  3. I did an impromptu and unscientific analysis of a discussion that happened while attending webinar earlier this summer, about why people use subtitles or captions on the web.

    The results are intriguing. And mostly not about accessibility, at least not directly.

  5. I made this #YouTube video for work using #OpenSource. #Audacity with #OpenVINO to clean up the #Audio #Inkscape for the lower thirds and #Kdenlive to edit everything. Oh, and #Whisper to automatically create the #subtitles, which is did an amazing job, better than Audacity and OpenVINO did. Only would have been better if I did it on my home #kubuntu desktop but open source #software is the best and all ran on my Windows workstation.

  6. There are five subtitle data processing paths in the video machine:

    1. Analog: CEA-608 is read from the tape, decoded by a custom decoder, put on screen via custom renderer

    2. Analog H/W: all decoding is done by the capture card, the subtitle graphics are inserted into the video output

    3. Hybrid: subtitles read from SRT file, synchronized to the VCR timecode, put on screen via same custom renderer as Analog mode

    4. Encoding: subtitles read from SRT file, synchronized to VCR timecode or digital player timecode, converted to CEA-608 and emitted via subtitle encoder. Subtitles end up on line 21 this way (they may then end up in the Analog path)

    5. Digital: SRT is loaded by the digital player (MPV) and is rendered by the same. Digital-native subtitles completely bypass video machine - they just get baked onto the video output which is then shown to everyone.

    Today I finished up more work on the digital subtitle path, but more on it in a moment...

  7. Okay, I dump on bsky a fair bit... I mean no edit feature (still), it tends to really mangle images when recompressing them, it has an obnoxiously low character limit, it's not *actually* federated in any meaningful way, etc, etc... but today I uploaded a video and they now let you upload soft subtitles (vtt format), which is an awesome feature that I wish Mastodon/Fedi (and other platforms that let you share video) would adopt!

  9. I finally got around to working on a VobSub parser for my subtitle editor. VobSub is the subtitle format you find on DVDs by the way.

    It's a lot of fun to write these kind of parser, but unlike the PGS parser (Bluray format) I wrote, there is no official documentation for it, so I have basically been peeking at the parser code for SubtitleEdit.

    The code is coming along nicely. It can now read and parse the 2048 byte data blocks.

  19. My subtitle editor is now on PyPI.

    pypi.org/project/subtle-gui/

    It is very much in an alpha state, but I've used it quite a bit to convert Bluray subtitles to SRT (text) files for use with Plex. It requires MKVToolNix for reading media files, and Tesseract OCR for OCR scanning. These applications need to be callable from the command line. I plan to make this configurable later.

  21. CW: New frontiers in AI generated subtitles. The Burbs episode 5 mild spoiler.

    I often watch tv with subtitles on because I can't hear very well. Many shows use AI to generate them. It's often ok but regularly wrong and occasionally surreally wrong. This is from episode 5 of The Burbs.

    AI: You have sodded a vice.

    Actual: You have sedative eyes.

    "Sodded a vice"?! AI is usually plausible whether right or wrong, but in what context would a human being ever say "sodded a vice"?
