A real time closed caption generator for YouTube. Allows you to sync up a raw dialogue text file into a time-stamp keyed closed caption file, all in real time as the soundtrack plays.
Demonstrates application usage and skims through the source code.
- A dialogue file (txt) - A sound track (mp3 or wav) - Closed Caption Generator (exe) - The dialogue file you cam simply make in notepad. Just type each section of text you want as a subtitle on a new line. - The soundtrack you can extract from YouTube using a website such as http://www.youtube-mp3.org/. Copy in your video url to the site and download the mp3. - The closed caption generator, you download from this repository located in the release folder. Save the executable to any location on your computer and run it. It is completely standalone and requires no installation. - Once its running, you must first tell it where the dialogue and soundtrack files are located. You can either copy an past the file paths in (by clicking the small :_ button), or use the built in file browser to navigate to them. You may also choose an alternative destination folder, and output file name if you wish, or just leave it at the defaults. At this point, you are ready to click begin.
- At this stage you will be prompted with some very simple instructions. 
- As soon as you hit enter, the sound will begin to play. You will be expected to hold down the space bar to sync the dialogue query up with the audio. Each time the space bar is released, the next line is brought up. 
- Once the audio track has reached its end, or your have finished all queried caption lines, the closed caption file will be saved to disk, and will display in a preview window. Upload the newly generated closed caption file to YouTube and you're done.
This application was created in Turing, a programming language developed by HoltSoft with simplistic syntax in mind. It`s designed to provide a good start-up to get beginners into programming. It just so happens to be my first programming language. It got me hooked on programming so it seams they hit their mark. Unfortunately they closed development of the language, however it still exists and is available for download at http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/. There is a community there wrapped around a several programming languages, Turing being one of them.
