Current Requirements
#1 English subtitles for over 10 hours of Hindi video content
We need help creating English subtitles for over 150 Hindi videos
averaging around 5 minutes each. The videos are in simple,
conversational style Hindi.
These videos are meant for teaching science concepts to middle school
children (aged approximately 11 to 16). It is important that the translator(s)
be well versed with middle-school (and to some extent high-school) science
concepts, so as to be able to effectively translate.
Here is a sample video below. To see more videos, please visit our
YouTube channel.
#2 Hindi translations for 1000s of chat prompts written in English
In addition to the videos, we are building an app that allows
learners to deepen their learning by interacting with Madam Curious,
our teacher "bot", via a chat-based interface.
We have created thousands of chat prompts (grouped by the videos they
belong to) that we need help translating into Hindi. It is important
that the translator(s) be well versed with middle-school (and to some
extent high-school) science concepts, so as to be able to effectively
translate.
We have made a software platform where translators will be able to enter
translations for prompts from their browser. Here is a screenshot of
the platform:
