Hmmm. I think this just might work  Once I've built the profile, it'd only take 1.5 hours to caption a normal daily. *ponder* | ||

Let me know, it appears sunrise's way of doing it would be much easier. edit: I will start typing it out tonight I guess. Edit 2: Sunrise has a progrom so I am not going to type it out. | ||

I'd just have to build a 'SC2 profile' so it recognises and spits out the correct SC2 terms, ie: marauder, Day[9], WCG, etc. I can live voice caption at about 97% accuracy. Hmmm.

On top of the fact that you do an impressive thing for your job in general, I'm glad that you're taking this on. I'm sure there are quite a few people who could use some transcribing/subtitling. Who knows, maybe if you get there first you can even help some of the major tournament organizers either personally or with your profile and get paid for it. | ||

I bet there's a lot of people out there willing to translate the daily to their languages. If you get a properly timed .srt in english, it would be awesome to find a way to automatically make a .srt file from a raw .txt translation, using the already known timings from the english subtitles. It would certainly not be perfect, but it would save a lot of work, only leaving some minor editing to do. That way you don't have to bother translators with timings too much, making it easier for people to contribute. Btw, if you need help with the spanish translation I would be glad to help. | ||

I work evenings for the news and live sport, so I could start hanging back for an hour every couple of shifts. I estimate I could get about 15 minutes worth of audio done per hour, just because of specialised terms. This will decrease the more material I cover. If anyone would like to help, I need to create a list of non-standard English terms to train into my voice recognition profile. For example, tournaments mentioned, any names, units, etc. To give you an idea, for the recent cyclone emergency in Queensland, I had to train in about 50 suburb names, cyclone/weather-specific terms, reporter names, etc. For football matches, I train in player names, umpire names, football-specific terms, the stadiums, and so on. Does that make sense? I will start on this list myself, but if anyone could help with listing those words, do PM me! You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Madam -_- but thank you! It's a pretty thankless job, for the most part. We can't even gauge how many people use English subtitles on the evening news or sport or whatever. It's estimated at around 1 million in Australia, but we'll never know. But I do feel that, at least, I'm doing something worthwhile. Plus the pay's good, and they're really good with fitting my work around university ^^ | ||

I've often wished that I could watch Day9's dailies, but I can't because of the lack of subtitles. Is there anyone out there who is willing to subtitle a Day9 daily? The #100 one is the one I'm most interested in. I am willing to donate money, because I think this video will help inspire me to push to Diamond and get more deaf people into SC2. While I realize this post is a long shot in the dark, it's still worth making. And it'll be cool if you guys could give me your thoughts on this! So great thanks to whoever is doing this, and you should spread the word, this will not only help foreign audiences, but also people who cannot hear Sean and require subtitles. Good on you! | ||

I am just not getting it, I will gladly help you, but my brain cant process your request right, now  could you explain what you need excatly? also as soon as we have the transcript, I will gladly translate with the other 2 guys into German | ||

I was literally just thinking about this - there's a lot of casts out there but I can't think of any which actually have any subtitling, putting e-sports pretty far behind regular TV even. And just thinking about how fast day9 and other casters talk when it gets down to the nitty-gritty (always wanted to write that )....I'm willing to help if I can, but since I have nothing but my hands and a keybaord I was just thinking of typing things up as I listen to it. Any use for me? edit: typo | ||

We could easily do an english transcription with enough man power, for instance I'll happily transcribe the last 5 minutes of the video, and if we partition it like that we could be done pretty quickly. | ||

For instance, I imagine Sunrise's software would have no idea what do with the word "kiwikaki", and might transcribe it as "kiwi khaki".

I have started and have the first 20 minutes done so far, will work on it more tonight. | ||

 + Show Spoiler + 1:45:00 If you have any friends or any family that is absolutely something you should do. That's why in this last year, I haven't gotten the chance to play as much but I still need that fix and I just want to do as much commentary on the games and share everything of 12 years of playing Starcraft, about all my thoughts and everything and interact with this unbelievably kickass community. Some of things people were asking, "How do you deal with juggling school, work and all these things with Starcraft?" and the answer is I love Starcraft so much and I love that I love Starcraft so much. So I'll go to school and hang out with friends, but I have no shame if there's a Friday night and I just want to stay in and play Starcraft. I went to LAN parties non-stop in highschool and now in college I don't have that much work I have to do after tonight, and you know what, I'm gonna play Starcraft 2. I don't need to go out, I don't have to follow any weird social norm, like "Oh, you're at College, you don't go to parties?" Well, not this weekend because I want to play Starcraft, and I think that's awesome. And you know what, I'm going to host an event this weekend and bring everyone in. I'm going to host the OSL down on the mainscreen auditorium, it's a 15inch projector and everyone's gonna show up and realise why that's so cool. So, you know what, I... I think I've just about hit most of what's it like being a starcraft player. There's so many lessons that I've learned that have been so valuable to me, for instance: losing. A loss in not a bad thing, Failure is not something to be scorned or avoided, or something to reassure someone on "no no no it's okay the russian judge was just in a bad mood" those losses, those games you did not play well, that you lost. That is not you, that is not a reflection of you, that game is completely external to you. And if you just look at it, all that loss is, is an arrow that points to you in the wrong direction. In the worst case scenario, If I loss 100 games I have 100 different sources of information to review to become a better player, and now I have such a small fear of failure because you know what, If i completely botch a tournament in the 2005 finals against a player because I choked, no big deal because I'll be back again next year and I will be clutch in the future. It's helped me realise if I screw up an assignment it's not a big deal, if I end up losing a relationship, ya'know, it doesn't end up working out I can deal with it a lot better now. I know that, because you have to make decisions so quickly in Starcraft I now have very little issue just making decisions and I realise the importance of being able to decide now and figure out if it's better later. Too often I think people spend too much time waffling on various issues, they say should I do A or should I do B and they're too scared to make a decision. Starcraft makes you proud to be a decision maker and make you love being a decision maker, all these situations you can end up in are so much easier if you have that experience. The last thing I want to say is that you learn the importance of community. No one in Starcraft holes themselves up, played by themselves up, and came back and played better than everyone. Players played with each other, discussed with each other, and formed really tight friendships overseas. Some of my best friends live in Europe thanks to Starcraft. That community aspect is so dear to me. So I'll finish with this last question someone sent to me "What do you want to do with Starcraft 2? Do you want to be a player or commentator?" My dream is for eSports to be big in the west. I want it to be huge, so I would so dearly want to be the ambassador for eSports. I want to be someone you can show your Mum too and say look at this guy, this guy isn't homeless! He didn't turn out horrifically awful, right, he played this game and it has brought him far in life. Listen to how he describes this game, that great feeling that he's able to talk about, that is what I feel. That is what I think is so important, just to be able to spread it to as many people as possible and I just want people's love for eSports to never die and it would be a life well spent if I could do that. It's been about two hours so thank you to anyone who tuned in live, and for any of you who have a drink I'd like to make a toast to 12 years to my dearest friend, the Starcraft community. It's been with me through everything, always remember to believe in yourself and dream big. Cheers. | ||

Oh wow, i meant i started mapping out the non normal words like zergling hydra and such, somebody earlier in the thread said they may be able to do the rest with a program. Thanks though! and I am sure you efforts will not be in vain. | ||
