Does anyone know of a site that would provide autocaption for Hebrew video?
Youtube does not support Hebrew. We have a bunch of student content that
they want to post online and I know the students can't pay to have their
videos captioned. If they could add Hebrew autocaptions at a minimum
(preferably the site would allow for editing the errors captions), that
would be a step in the right direction.

Thanks,
Sarah

Sarah,

Check out www.aisrael.org. I met the founder at M-Enable in 2017. He is a
true believer of making Israel Accessible. He might be able to help you find
resources or references.

There's not a fully automated solution for Hebrew captions, but you can
use CMU Sphinx toolkit coupled with feeding the audio in and using that
as the source to let speech recognition convert the speech to text.
Then, correct as necessary, (CMU Sphinx is pretty good with Hebrew so
there shouldn't be overly much correction needed provided the audio is
clear), and then use the recognized text to manually generate your
caption files.


Hope this is at least somewhat helpful,


Amanda
