Weekly review: Week ending March 12, 2021
| review, weekly- Emacs streaming:
- I experimented with redirecting my automatic caption output into Emacs, using it to dictate a few sentences. It works well when I clearly enunciate.
- I had problems streaming. OBS kept using >100% CPU. It might be the browser soure.
- Video editing and subtitles:
- I wrote some code to use word-level timing from Google's video transcripts when splitting subtitles.
- I wrote some code to mute the video based on subtitles and to include a title image.
- I figured out what was wrong with my subtitle splitting code. format-seconds has a bug. It rounds up when given a decimal.
- I split the videos based on the XML provided by BigBlueButton.
- I edited the subtitles for Mike's demo of transient.
- I worked on generating title clips. At first, I tried editing Inkscape SVGs, but that didn't work so well with long titles. I switched to using LaTeX and learned how to use TikZ.
- Other:
- I sewed a simple watermelon nightgown/dress for A-. She liked it.
- I ordered the Georgi chording keyboard. I want to see if I can get the hang of stenography for captioning, writing, and coding.
- The arborists removed one of the trees in the backyard.
