Questions

  1. Is any other information required? i.e. author, description / summary, primary language, etc?
  2. Are any of the fields mandatory? I assume Video URL and format are required.
  3. How common is the Amara use case for either Transcript or Captions?
  4. Can JSONcc or VTT resources be loaded from an URL?
  5. Can the type of caption / transcript be detected given an URL?
  6. Can an Amara transcript or Amara caption be uploaded locally or must it always

    Error Cases

  • Duplicate caption or transcript
  • Invalid caption or transcript
  • Language not specified for caption or transcript
  • be specified with an URL?
