How to Transcribe Video Files to Text with YouTube
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh June 23, 2015

June 23, 2015

The Digital Inspiration blog outlines a method of uploading audio and video to YouTube and get a transcript in multiple languages (Google transcribes the audio to text and does machine translation of that text to other languages Yes, its not perfect (hence the need for Glenn's video captioning tools on a TTF call in January this year) , but might be interesting to try the audio from a call to see how well the machine captioning works. Perhaps a way to allow for unofficial transcripts available within 24 hours after a call. http://www.labnol.org/internet/transcribe-video-to-text/28914/

Skype for Web (Beta) is now available to everyone in the US and UK
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh June 5, 2015

June 5, 2015

Via http://blogs.skype.com/2015/06/05/skype-for-web-beta-is-now-available-to-ev… "today we’re pleased to share more good news for people that use Skype on their browser – Skype for Web (Beta) is now available for all new and existing users in the US and UK. Now, anyone going to Skype.com (or web.skype.com) in the US and UK can sign in and connect to Skype for Web to get to their conversations in an instant without downloading the Skype app. Skype for Web is perfect if you normally use Skype on your mobile, but want to quickly get to your calls and IMs on a bigger screen. Or perhaps you’re sitting at a Windows or Mac computer in an internet café or hotel that doesn’t already have Skype downloaded. If you’re in the US or UK and are using a computer, take a moment to give Skype for Web a try. Just go to Skype.com and join or sign in with your Skype ID and password." Dev Anand
