YouTube Transcriptions

May 12, 2013

There’s a new feature on the site. It started life as plain audio to listen along with texts but got ‘upgraded’ to YouTube instead, for three reasons:

There is a vast array of content already on YouTube.
It has video - you can see things!
I don’t have to store all the audio on my server, which keeps things simple for me.

I still think that plain audio would be cool to have, but this lets me get something out there that works, and get back to improving the more core aspects of the site.

You can try it out by watching the following videos in Spanish:

Extr@ Español 1 - A very cheesy sitcom made especially for beginners.
El Principito - An audio book of the beautiful classic novela.

Let me know if you think this is useful, or if you think it could be improved.
