Welcome @Kafuidarkey!

You are welcome to join the next farmOS monthly call to talk face to face: https://farmos.org/community/monthly-call/

Or, the farmOS chat room in the meantime: https://riot.im/app/#/room/#farmOS:matrix.org

Otherwise, feel free to post questions here on the forum!

In the same vein of the original post, how I can help introduce OS tools to our local farmers? My county’s Coop Extension confirmed that OS technology is not in use here. I am not a farmer but as a citizen and community member, I feel it’s my responsibility to help bring this knowledge to them for further exploration. I’m looking forward to the 2/12/20 call in case this is an agenda item with wide interest.

Great question @Bhavna. I think it would be great if we as a community could put together some printable resources that make it easier to share farmOS information with others. We recently created a simple one-page flyer (attached). I’d love to see some more detailed resources too.

The user guide on farmOS.org has a lot of information - maybe that can be a starting point: https://farmOS.org/guide

I would like to help out with this, @mstenta, as well as updating the screencasts (I saw a ticket about that from 2017). Is there a demo environment pre-loaded with data somewhere for these sort of jobs?
I’ll be on the June 10th call, so happy to discuss then.

Thanks @kirsten_mc!! We don’t have a demo environment, but we’ve talked about setting one up. Let’s talk on the monthly call this Wednesday.

I started an Agenda doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10pHDkTarbRj3y5vE2uJQntOKp_Cy4iPgYDFlwATE3lY/edit?usp=sharing

Just thinking, maybe it’s already been considered, but will it be possible to include closed captioning on the tutorials? I know this can be automatically done on a lot of video platforms these days, but definitely good to make sure it’s enabled for accessibility.

Yes, absolutely.

Closed captioning can be added 3 ways:

  1. added while creating the video, so it is burned into the *.mp4 file
  2. added by a service such as YouTube, who does some NLP on the audio
  3. added as a separate *.srt file while uploading to a service such as YouTube. This is the preferred method, as it means the captions are correct, and then YouTube can use it to translate to other languages.

For computer generated subtitles I have tested and used Veed.io in the past. It works pretty well and can be tested for free. To export high res video or the .srt file you need to pay a monthly or yearly subscription. Btw they have a translation feature but it requires additional editing by a real human.

For tutorials, I always work from a script, so it’s easy to put into captions.
If we go ahead with some kind of Webinar / Interview / Use Case presentation format, we can make a call for transcribers, or use a system like recommended by @Lars.
(Just don’t make me do the transcription… I tried once and realized it took me 30 minutes to transcribe 5 minutes of the meeting. I’m just no good at it!)
