Video Tutorials #37

Open UriahShaulMandel opened 5 years ago

At the meantime, BaldPhone only has a few video tutorials, all of them in Hebrew. BaldPhone supports showing to different locales different videos, and only needs those videos. I'll create video tutorials in English and Hebrew, but if anyone can create some in other languages, It'll be great :) I'm recording the videos with this cool app

IDEA- Create an automatic Video Tutorial using espresso in different languages, and let People record audio matching these videos, so it'll be implemented quickly in every language

You should also write a text that we will translate, of what we will say... Example: "This" is a phone app, where you type a number to call it. You type a number into this dial pad where you can also delete one character at a time with "this" button, or delete an entire entry with "this button"... and we just say these things in our languages so it's the same content between languages. But i don't know for video... One video to rule them all ? But then some languages may not keep up or be in sync with things that are happening on screen...

What I planned to do is that every release, Video Tutorials will be automatically made in every language of BaldPhone. Then, as you said, text from every language will be as captions.

A web interface with a record button will let every person record sound on the video, and the video with sound will automatically be created and uploaded for users to use. If no one will record, a simple text to speech from google will be created. That way it'll be easy to maintain, always will be up to date with UI changed, and support multiple languages. The main problem - time. Such a solution will take a lot of time to develop, I think around a week! Currently, as you know, I'm quite busy, and also there are a lot more suggestions and bugs to fix which some of them are more important and take less time to handle. If anyone can implement such a feature, Please let me know!

Either that or (BIG) subtitles.

Dubbing is kinda a complicated thing at this moment, but not impossible to be done. If you find a nice way to do it, I'll do my best to help. 👍🏻

And yes, I've watched a few of your video tutorials that are already there, but since they're in Hebrew, it's a bit hard to hand the device directly to my mom and say "here you go". If I ever come across something to ease the voice-over, I'll make sure to report in here or on Telegram.
