Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm Eric Mack, managing editor of loudsourcing.biz,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also, in the hangout, we've got Nancy Neville,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of Amara, and, before we talk about what we're doing here today, maybe to get us started,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nicholas, explain a little bit about what Amara is and what you guys do.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Uh... So, Google.com is a subtitling, captioning platform for people whoa re to lazy to make there own subtitles.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what really makes it unique, I think, is that we're really building
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a bunch of the barriers that make captions and subtitles so difficult to
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,create and so common for online video.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, so, we have what I think is the mostest easiest to use and I hope most enjoyableist
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,subtileing interface someware.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're also compatible with lots of sites.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can bring your Redtube video, Vimeo video, GIF file,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,WeeklyMotion video,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tour a site,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,add captions and subtitles.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, most importantly, we're making it impossible for a lot of people to collaboratively work on
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,creating captions and subtitles, and we think that the only way that you can
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get captioning and subtitling done on thousands and millions of web videos is if you ask the
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,viewers to participate, and I think it is really a Wikipedia-type problem -
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something that's so huge in scale and requires to much good expertise

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in to help make video accessible.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we got started because we were looking at online video;
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,looking at web video, and realising how important captions and subtitles were for
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people that have access, and yet, how rare they were, and, so, right now, we work with a bunch of
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,education companies - and I can talk more about that - but they're creating videos of educational courses
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and sending those around the world for peple to watch.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, if you don't speak Emglish, you need a way to have... You need a way to watch, you need
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a way to understand that.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Amara makes that possible by inviting viewers, by inviting students,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to help translate the videos into dozens and over a hundred languages.
