    Take 2 for a hopeful reboot of the youtube channel.

    Do you want to help the PO Youtube Channel out but can't narrate or edit?

    The Subtitle Team is being reconstructed and so, the subtitling project will be active once more!

    The objective of this project is to convert/duplicate the narration found in a specific video to text. This enables the viewer to understand the speaker with ease. This also allows handicapped viewers to enjoy our videos.

    Now that you know the cause and are interested, let's get on with how subtitling works. Don't fret, I wasn't being condescending; we have a new and improved way of subtitling that allows writers to collaborate yielding increased efficiency and ease. The transcripts will be uploaded to PiratePad ready to be fixed up. PiratePad is a new site hosted by the Pirate Party using the EtherPad code to offer an alternative place to host your pads. Now then, what was EtherPad? It was a web-based collaborative real-time editor, allowing authors to simultaneously edit a text document, and see all of the participants' edits in real-time, with the ability to display each author's text in their own color.

    Procedures to apply:

    Post your typing speed (http://www.typingtest.com - any test at 1 minute is fine, you can retake it if needed) and accuracy percentage. Keep in mind that we may ask you to verify this during the screening process so be honest.

    A brief statement about why you want the job is optional but preferred.

    NOTE: WE ARE ALSO TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR PEOPLE TO TRANSLATE INTO DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. IF SO, PLEASE SAY SO.

    Some of the tests are far easier than the others. I decided to do three of them so that you could get an average instead of me just taking them all and giving you the best result.

    I have been looking for something else to do and I know that the youtube channel needs help. I plan to edit videos too so i figured the two kind of go together so why not right.

    I would love to help.

    All of the tests were of Aesop's fables.

    I've always wanted to contribute to PO, but I can't edit and my voice is terrible for narration, so I thought this would be perfect for me. Although my typing speed isn't great, I wanted to give it a shot. I also want to apply for the translate job. I can translate into perfect Dutch, and if needed less perfect French.

    I'd love to contribute more to PO, and the YouTube channel seems like a perfect way to do so. If needed, I can do translations to Dutch and French.
    Here's the test.

    I would love to start becoming a staff for the YouTube channel, and I think that this will be the easiest place because my voice sounds ridiculous, despite the advanced editing software I have (Pinnacle Studio 14 Ultimate HD) and I'm a fast typer anyways, so hey - Wynaut?

    I am very active and nice to everyone in the community, I am good at listening to voices even if they are not the clearest in the world, I can translate into French too.

    A fast but little inaccurate attempt (89-4=85):

    A slower but more accurate attempt(72-2=70):

    Why did you bump it Tyki?

    I was really trying to give my results here but here you are bumping the thing I want to do the most today.

    And btw, what is the average typing speed you will need to qualify? About my speed, these tests are un-familiar with me so it can take a while to get 60+ (WPM with errors) and my current high-score is mere 55 WPM (100% accuracy) because of being unfamiliar with the text. Let me try for a while and you might get 65+ WPM! Bumping wasn't a good idea, you should'a alerted the presses about this thread so I could'a given it a shot about the day I joined forums (probably a month) and you could'a have got 1 more man in the army! :cool:

    I'll give you my final results tomorrow, though! :D

    Note: My (City/Country) timings are not as the forum timings but 5 hours (and 20 minutes) more in the forum timings, so tomorrow won't really be tomorrow in the foums! ;)

    Note #2: If you were really bumping it, you should'a deleted it, now don't complain me about "why did you make post with the tests done even though the thread is bumped", so, yeah! :)

    Xdevo, thanks, lol, my bad on that bumping thingy! ;)

    Bumping a thread isn't the same thing as locking it. All bumping does is move the thread to the top to give it more publicity.
