    [sethkane] can someone recommend a Transcript service. It doesn't have to be for live media only pre-recordered. I am already researching http://www.acscaptions.com/ but other recommendations would be welcomed.
  2. [tink] 3play.com are good for captions. Not sure whether they can do a simple transcript, but worth asking.

    @sethkane - a quick github search and I found: https://github.com/OpenNewsLabs/autoEdit_2 and https://github.com/dannguyen/watson-word-watcher

    [karlgroves] @sethkane We’ve used ACS a lot at TPG. They do the live transcriptioning for ID24 and for V&L.

    On a personal note, I’ve used CastingWords for a lot of transcription-after-the-fact

  5. [sethkane] Danke!

    [vcurd] There are a number of accessible widgets around with good keyboard support, but I'm curious how do developers make users aware of the keyboard shortcuts? What is the best solution to avoid cluttering the UI but making it obvious to all keyboard users?
  7. [marcysutton] Maybe make a little help menu thing detailing the shortcuts?
  8. [garcialo] slack uses command+/
  9. [garcialo] I’m not sure if that’s a standard or not

    [marcysutton] I would think something like Shift + ? would be a little intuitive (barring any AT conflicts).. and/or a help button somewhere in the UI

    [vcurd] I was hoping this was a solved problem, after all for a widget to be operable the users need to know how to use it and not all keyboard users are aware of common keyboard shortcuts.
  12. [vcurd] Does anyone know of datepickers, WYSIWYGs or other widgets that provide easily accessible help?

    [garcialo] obviously, if the design will accommodate it, just have it visible all the time in like a legend box thing
  14. [garcialo] if there are too many shortcuts, include the common ones and the shortcut for pulling up a menu or something
  15. [garcialo] if design hates always visible, you can do like a help modal thing like slack
  16. [garcialo] and just have the shortcut visible somewhere
  17. [garcialo] or have a button for it

    [vcurd] @marcysutton @garcialo Okay thanks for the feedback. I'll have a go at developing something. Cheers.
