How to find a TEDx talk to transcribe

  • 0:11 - 0:14
    There are many amazing TEDx talks
    available for you to transcribe.
  • 0:15 - 0:17
    To find a talk to subtitle,
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    you'll need an account on Amara,
    our online subtitling tool.
  • 0:21 - 0:25
    Watch our tutorial on how to sign up
    if you don't already have an account.
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    Once you've signed into Amara,
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    make sure you're in the TED team section.
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    Click on the Tasks tab,
  • 0:33 - 0:34
    then click this filter,
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    and to narrow your search,
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    select "TEDxTalks,"
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    or "Best of TEDx" for a curated
    selection of promoted talks.
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    Note that TEDx talks
    are the only type of talks
  • 0:46 - 0:48
    which can be transcribed by volunteers.
  • 0:49 - 0:50
    Next, click the first filter
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    and select "Transcribe"
    from the list of task types
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    to see all untranscribed talks
    in your languages.
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    If there is a specific TEDx talk
    you'd like to transcribe,
  • 1:00 - 1:03
    enter the event name or the talk title
    in this search field,
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    which searches within the TED team only.
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    Because there are so many TEDx talks,
  • 1:09 - 1:13
    it's a good idea to have a specific talk
    in mind before you get to Amara.
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    Try choosing a talk
    from an event in your area
  • 1:20 - 1:23
    or check out our themed lists,
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    which organize popular talks by subject.
  • 1:28 - 1:32
    Once you find a talk,
    hover over "Perform Task,"
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    then click "Start now."
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    If you can't find the talk
    you want to transcribe on Amara,
  • 1:37 - 1:38
    don't worry.
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    Just fill out this form,
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    and we will add the talk to Amara for you
  • 1:42 - 1:44
    and notify you when it's ready
    for subtitling.
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    After you submit your transcription,
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    it will need to be reviewed
    by an experienced volunteer
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    before publication
    on the TEDx YouTube channel.
  • 1:55 - 1:56
    Happy transcribing!
