Thanks Cris. For your future timeshifting projects: please consider sticking as close to 2 seconds as the minimum display time for strings. 1.5 seconds is really too short for anything bigger than 15 characters, not to mention that a lot of languages won't be able to make use of those tiny strings because their grammatical structure will very likely not be similar to that of the English language

This project is ready for a second round of proofreading.

Oops! My mistake folks :loser:

I added to the wiki that SpiritualArtist was proofreading it and forgot to add (in progress). I asked her (FancyKat on facebook) to post on the forum before starting but she didn't. I don't know if she even started it. I guess that all keeps it's regular course, except that this video is back on 1st Round Proofreading.

I have celiac and I get sick on what they call food these days. More than celiac is cause. I been also going through personal Family stuff that has been difficult.

I am not sure what to do as no one explained it to me. I signed up to a few websites yes but no one told me what I am doing and how.

Looks like I may have to learn grammar a bit better as well.

I have to get a avatar uploaded. Just have to find out where I do that.

Hey Babs, do you mind if I call you Babs? :thumbsup:

First off, I guess you found out how to upload an avatar, it's very pretty

As to "What do to", it's pretty simple: we expect our proofreaders to clean up any grammar/spelling mistakes they see and to make adjustments as they see fit to make the text more readable, without going off course and writing down stuff that the speaker doesn't say, of course

There are several rounds of English proofreading, so don't worry about having to pick up every single mistake. Our hope is that as the transcription goes through the fine comb of multiple proofreaders, it comes out as good as can be!

Here's a quick summary of our process

Quoted

A new video comes to our attention, we add it to dotSUB an open it for everyone to transcribe.

- Transcription : the video is open for all to transcribe.

- Proofreading Round 1 : when the transcription is done, is goes through a first round of proofreading.

- Timeshifting : after a round of proofreading, we adjust the subtitles' timestamps so that they fit perfectly with the audio, so as to make them as readable and translatable as possible

After timeshifting, the video goes through 2 other rounds of proofreading : we call those steps "Proofreading Round 2" and "Final Review". The goal here is to get at least 3 people to check out the video, because some people might spot errors that other people might have overlooked.

The main place where to look for new projects to transcribe or proofread is the Working Locations page in the wiki.

We also strongly recommend that you give the Linguistic Team International Guidelines a serious look before taking on a project.

When someone feels like transcribing or proofreading a video, they post on the relevant forum thread to let everybody else know and avoid duplicate work.

While we proofread, we are taking some notes regarding some of the tougher spots where we had some difficulties, either because the speaker is barely audible, or if the sentence structure is weird, among other examples... You'll find that we have a notepad for every project.

To help you with the process of proofreading specifically, there are English language guidelines which you can use as sort of a reference as you gain more experience.

Thanks for the reply but I feel I have to withdraw my offer to help for this reason.

I am not good with grammar and I was told I did not need to know a lot of it so I said I would try.

I do like to help but I think I will help in what I been doing by telling people of the RBE. It seems what I do best at.

I get sick a lot so I am not as reliable as I would like to be.

I apologize for this. I just can't be what I think you guys needs me to be.
