Capturing Quotes from Video

Filed under: Editor,Journalism,News — Patrick Durusau @ 4:13 pm

A new tool from The Times of London lets you easily detect and capture quotes from a video by Shan Wang.

From the post:

“As I went through these articles and came across a text quote, I kept thinking, ‘Why can’t I just click on it and see the corresponding part of the video and get the full experience of how they said it?’”

Surfacing the latest Donald Trump gem from a long, rambling video to share it in a story can be a chore. A new tool from The Times of London called quickQuote, recently open sourced, allows users to upload a video, search for and select words and sentences from an automatically generated transcription of that video, and then embed the chosen quote with the accompanying video excerpt into any article.

Users can then highlight a quote they want to use, edit the quote on the same page to correct for any errors made by the automated transcription service, and then preview and export an embeddable quote/video clip package.

At Github: http://times.github.io/quickQuote/

This is awesome!

I know what I am going to be doing this weekend!
