- It creates automatic transcription from a video or audio file
- the user can make text selections
- export those selections as a video sequence in the editing software of choice
It is built in node electron and backbone.
Watch video overview of the transcription part on youtube.
The app uses IBM watson(free trial), as well as Gentle and pocketsphinx open source Speech To Text systems to generate transcription. The user can then select text and export a video sequence to the video editing software of choice.
Is designed so that the front end in backbone can be used as standalone static site. Which is how
the demo is run, with an hard coded sample data in backbone.sync.

As of version 1.0.6 you can pull selections from multiple transcriptions into a paperedit, see a video preview, and export as an EDL video sequence. Check out the user manual for more on this.
