Data Entry/transcription

November 21st, 2009

Hi, I represent AsktheSwami.com a new website just launched sharing the teachings of Sri Swami Satchidananda. I wish to add a large quanitity of content onto the website. I have a donor who is willing to support data entry of 200+/- DVDs.

What the project entails I will mail a hard drive with the DVDs or upload them to a web server were you can download them.

Part 1. Split DVDs into separate clips for each question. Splitting when he picks up a new question card(view AsktheSwami.com to see edits). It is very strait forward and you will either visibly see him pick up a new question card or look down at a new question card if it is zoomed in. (The opening and closing talks will be cut off and kept as separate files but not added to the website)

Part 2. Encode to FLV. 320×240 resolution, 29.97 fps, 384kbps video, 128kbps audio.

Part 3. Upload questions to web with a transcription of the question asked, a short version for the title if its a long question, Video ID number, and date from DVD.

I attached a picture of the form used to add a question to the website. The transcription field and topic field can be left blank we will do those later when we have more funding for the project.

Please make you bid on a per DVD or per question basis. The project again should be around 200 DVDs. DVDs are typically 1:05 and occasionally one runs up to 2 hours they average 5 questions per DVD.

Thank you,
Nick Eberle
