iTitle: Full circle with Twitter subtitle playback in YouTube (ALT-C 2010 Keynotes)

In March 2009 Tony Hirst posted a solution for Twitter Powered Subtitles for Conference Audio/Videos on Youtube.

Reliving ALT-C 2009 keynotes with preserved tweets

Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend ALT-C this year and will have to muddle on as a remote delegate, primarily surfing the conferencing twitter stream.

Give it a REST: iTitle/uTitle linking (oh and you can comment on Vimeo vids in uTitle)

A conversation with Brian Kelly led to a quick refresh of the Twitter Subtitle Generator (iTitle) [I’ve got tired of linking to all of mine and Tony’s previous posts on this so started the Twitter subtitling wikipedia entry]. Brian was interested in using iTitle to create twitter captioned versions of videos from IWMW10. Their plan […]
