Jubler Tutorial For Macbook Pro

Now we need to configure Jubler so it can use MPlayer and Aspell.

Configure Jubler for MPlayer

Now open Jubler - when it starts you will see a 'splash screen' - a picture of a parrot. Eventually the Jubler window will appear. Select Jubler > Preferences:

The Preferences Window then opens:

Click on 'Wizard':

Now select 'Continue' using the Automatically serarch option rather than the manual option. Jubler will then search your computer for the location of MPlayer.

This wizard should then pick up where your MPlayer file is. If so it will say MPlayer executable has been resolved, as below.

Click Finish, and you should end up back at the Jubler Preferences with the MPlayer path setup properly, as below.

Then Click Accept.

Configuring Jubler for Aspell

Since Mac OS X doesnt have a native installer for aspell, configuring Aspell for Jubler on Mac OS X is unsupported.

Accessibility refers to the practice of ensuring your product is available to as many users as possible. Web accessibility refers to the practice of making websites usable for all people, particularly for those with physical impairments, ensuring that everyone has equal access to all web content. The World Wide Web consortium (W3C) has established a set of guidelines known as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, which attempts to provide a standardised and definitive set of rules for how to develop accessible online content.

Making a video accessible is less time-consuming or expensive than you may think. Increasing your user accessibility is made easier by following web standards. For video production, the steps required to make your video fully accessible are largely the same as existing web standards. For example, tagging your video clip with appropriate metadata is useful for SEO as well as for captioning.

Video accessibility benefits many different groups of users:

• Users with hearing or visual impairments
• Users with moderate to severe visual and hearing limitations
• Users who are watching/listening to video in a foreign language (international viewers)
• Circumstances when video playback itself is impaired (audio playback is forbidden or broken)
• Moments when users are unable to playback both video and audio (watching video while travelling)

Captions (sometimes called “subtitles”) are the textual representation of a video’s soundtrack. A video’s captions can transmit all of the following types of audible information: narration, dialogue, sound effects and music. They are critical for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing. If you upload video to the Web, and that video includes sound, you should always include a text alternative, such as captions. As an added bonus, since most captioning for the Web relies on text, providing captions for your videos will mean your video will reach more people. Google, the main SEO-driver, requires meta-data to better index your content in its search engines. Thus, making your videos accessible will absolutely help Google find and index them quicker and more easily. Your small effort then has bit payoff: more and better targeted visitors to your site.

The Benefits of Captions

• Captions provide missing information for individuals who have difficulty processing speech and auditory components of the visual media (regardless of whether this difficulty is due to a hearing loss or a cognitive delay).
• Captioning is essential for viewers who are deaf and hard of hearing, can be very beneficial to those learning English as a second language, and can help those with reading and literacy problems.
• Captioning has been related to higher comprehension skills when compared to viewers watching the same media without captions.
• Captions assist in learning content-relevant vocabulary (in business, science, technology, and other subjects) – viewers see both the terminology (printed word) and the visual image.
• Captions help make your video content easier to find on the Web through search engines.
• Captions give you the option of adding language subtitles, making your video content accessible to any language audience you desire.

How to create captions and subtitles

You can download and install any one of a number of desktop captioning/subtitling programs that offer options to create and export caption files for many different media players and formats. If you’d prefer to create the caption files over the Internet, rather than on your computer, there are several free Web-based tools you can use to create captions for your streaming videos, all of which have their own particular features and limitations. All the current options are listed below.

For our demonstration, we have used the software solution Jubler (see below). Depending on your operating system and needs, however, you may wish to use another system. All the software and web-based soutions below basically work in the same way to produce a caption/subtitle file. Some have more functionality than others.

To install Jubler on your system, follow the instructions for your operation system in our Caption Software Guide – How to install JUBLER.
