Notes:

Post-event review

Here are possible improvements.

General part

  • Remind possible usages : Wikimedia Websites, Language preservation, Language learning, Natural language processing (text2speech, speech2text)
  • The basics: this is a "recording project". We currently focus on words, but we can think and expand to more orality and knowledge related services.

Demonstration :

  • (Was so complete and systematic ! Merci Adélaide !)
  • by default, the limit is 380 every three days 380 per 72mins. for newly created accounts and normal accounts. See LinguaLibre:User_rights#User_rights_on_LinguaLibre for details. But! 380/hour for 4 days old accounts and an easy process to raise this significantly.
  • When you change the "stop threshold" 5 to record sentences, I think (?) it's the volume level under which the audio will stop. So we have to move it down if you want longer audios.
  • The "silence length" should be the single element to change.

Technical side :

  • Add lingualibre.org/datasets/ & talk about external usages
  • Remind possible usages : Wikimedia websites via bots, Language learning apps, Natural language processing (text2speech, speech2text).
  • Referees on nearly each repository
  • Welcome volunteer devs
  • "We think about more features and improvements that we can develop" (therefore we need devs). See Phabricator.
  • RecordWizard : a point on the Video recording variation.
  • Do we have a long term strategy. What is our development vision (it's redundant with Adelaide request to define a long term )

Also:

  • Improve calls for action and when we write/say them. "Come and try it out".
  • Visually thanks the community. (nothing in the slides)
  • A final slide with the Recording Wizard recording button's screenshot.
