It’s up now! Sorry for not mentioning sooner — and the uptime is now better… should last for a while now

You are correct! I unfortunately ended up deciding to stop paying for cable (I was subscribed only for Opened Captions) because I wasn’t able to get any support for the project. I’m still looking for ways to get the stream back up; if you know any organizations interested in hosting a copy of the tool I would love to turn it on again!

I don’t mean that. What I mean is provide a way for a captioner who is captioning an event, no a TV broadcast, to send their text over the internet so it can be viewed on an Opened Captions website.

If I understand well, you would propose to involve the whole community in doing closed caption? that would be great ! (even if that would probably generate a lot of mess)

it looks like a very interesting tool/library. However I am new in that field and there are various things that I do not understand. I downloaded open-cations and installed it locally. It works directly, out of the box! Great! I can launch the server using the command >>node app, and then I can visualize the page on localhost:3000.

However, what I don’t understand is how to connect this server with a tv+caption stream. Eg, how to connect it with C-SPAN. More specifically, to get all the closed captions info from that channel.

Other questions, do you know other channels that I can get with your tools? For example, I am interested with european channels. Would it works? (perhaps I should have first a special box?)
Any ideas? hints?

Thank you for your help and happy new year,
Herve.

It’d be great if you could have a captioner producing their own captions in an Opened Captions console, and they can be picked up on the website. I’m a captioner, and I would pay to use it.
