0:06 - 0:10[How to find videos to work on]
-
0:10 - 0:13There are generally
two ways of finding stuff to work on. -
0:13 - 0:18You can start with a specific video
or you can browse the available tasks. -
0:19 - 0:22How to start with a specific video?
-
0:23 - 0:26Search for a TEDTalk, TEDxTalk
or a TED-Ed video -
0:26 - 0:28that you find interesting.
-
0:28 - 0:30Remember to watch the video first,
-
0:30 - 0:33to make sure that it's not too short,
too long -
0:33 - 0:36too technical,
or maybe not technical enough for you! -
0:37 - 0:39Once you've made your pick,
-
0:39 - 0:41copy the title or the speaker's name,
-
0:41 - 0:43go to Amara.org,
-
0:43 - 0:45and recreate this little trip
through the interface. -
0:47 - 0:51First, make sure that you log in
using your TED profile. -
0:53 - 0:57Then hover the mouse over your username
-
0:58 - 1:01and select "TED" from the team list
at the bottom. -
1:05 - 1:09On the team page, click the "Tasks" tab.
-
1:14 - 1:17Here, you will see many useful filters
-
1:17 - 1:20that will help you find your way
to your video. -
1:23 - 1:26The videos are divided
into a few projects: -
1:28 - 1:35TEDTalks, TEDxTalks, TED-Ed,
OTP Resources and Best of TEDxTalks. -
1:36 - 1:38The default setting here is "TEDTalks,"
-
1:38 - 1:42but if the video you're looking for
is not a TEDTalk, -
1:42 - 1:45select one of the other projects
from the list -
1:45 - 1:48or just click "any project"
to search everywhere. -
1:50 - 1:53After the task list has refreshed,
-
1:53 - 1:58paste the speaker's name
or the talk's title into the search box -
1:58 - 1:59and hit Enter.
-
2:02 - 2:06You will see the tasks available
for your languages. -
2:08 - 2:11Now simply go to the video,
-
2:12 - 2:15and click "Start now."
-
2:16 - 2:18Let me give you a hint!
-
2:18 - 2:20While searching for TEDTalks,
-
2:20 - 2:24go with just the speaker's name
or just the title, -
2:24 - 2:28or remove the colon
from the full title, like this. -
2:29 - 2:32If you search for the full title
with the colon in it, -
2:32 - 2:37it may sometimes trip up the system
so you won't get any results. -
2:38 - 2:42Otherwise, if you can't find any tasks
for the video you searched for, -
2:43 - 2:46it usually means that other volunteers
are already working on it. -
2:47 - 2:50Don't give up,
and find another amazing talk! -
2:52 - 2:56Now let's talk about the other way
of finding stuff to work on, -
2:56 - 2:58by browsing the available tasks.
-
3:00 - 3:03If you don't have
any specific videos in mind, -
3:03 - 3:05you can browse the tasks
available in our projects. -
3:07 - 3:09Let's have a little fun
with the filters here. -
3:09 - 3:12First, depending on what you want to do,
-
3:12 - 3:15select the type of task
you're looking for. -
3:15 - 3:18For example, the "Translate" task.
-
3:21 - 3:24Then choose the project.
-
3:24 - 3:26The default one is "TEDTalks,"
-
3:26 - 3:28but there is more cool stuff
to do in here. -
3:29 - 3:33In addition to TEDxTalks
and TED-Ed videos, -
3:33 - 3:37you can work on subtitles
for video tutorials like this one, -
3:37 - 3:39in "OTP Resources,"
-
3:39 - 3:43or you can browse
the carefully selected highlights -
3:43 - 3:46from the ever-growing
general collection of TEDxTalks, -
3:46 - 3:49in the "Best of TEDxTalks" project.
-
3:52 - 3:56Pick one of the projects, and you'll get
a list of videos that need your help. -
3:57 - 3:59If you can't find any free tasks,
-
3:59 - 4:02just select another project from the list.
-
4:05 - 4:08And for now,
happy transcribing and translating!
