Watch More Science Videos – Now with Closed Captioningby Brian Hitson 26 Aug, 2013 in Products and Content
In our continuing collaboration with Microsoft Research and its cloud services vendor GreenButton, ScienceCinema has just added a closed captioning option, which allows users to see the videos’ audio in textual format, for all videos added since July 2013. Users simply turn on the closed captioning feature while watching the individual video of interest. For an example, click here, then click on the video image.  When the video begins playing, click on the “CC” circle at the bottom of the video screen. (Closed captioning is seamlessly supported with Internet Explorer 10 and Chrome.) For ScienceCinema, this is a breakthrough in accessibility for hearing-impaired patrons. Scientific videos, animation, interactive visualizations, and other multimedia are expected to become increasingly prominent forms of scientific communication. ScienceCinema will continue to grow rapidly as new R&D-related videos are produced by DOE...

DOE research videos available on ScienceCinemaby Lorrie Johnson 27 Jun, 2012 in Products and Content
Scientific videos highlighting research and development (R&D) sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are available on ScienceCinema. ScienceCinema uses innovative, state-of-the-art audio indexing and speech recognition technology to enable users to quickly find video files produced by the DOE national laboratories, other DOE research facilities and CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research). When users search for scientific words and phrases, precise snippets of the video where the search term was spoken are provided along with a timeline. More than 2,500 videos are currently available in ScienceCinema, and the database will continue to grow as new R&D-related videos are produced by DOE programs, labs and facilities and submitted to OSTI. Scientific videos, animations, interactive visualizations and other multimedia are expected to become an increasingly prominent form of scientific communications. ScienceCinema was recently recognized as one of DOE’s six new initiatives in the DOE Open Government Plan 2.0 for making the federal government more transparent, participatory and collaborative. Related Topics: audio indexing, communications, open government plan, r&d, ScienceCinema, scientific, transparency, videos Read more... |
