Hear movie sub titles with your screen reader
This isn't a game, so I'm posting it here in the Off-topic room.
I was recently asked if I could make a program to read movie sub titles using different screen readers. Building something to actually play the movie files would have been a pain, since I'd have to deal with all of the different video codecs being used these days, so I went with a little trick to simplify the problem. You select a movie file using the program, and it extracts the sound track into an MP3 file which is then played along with the sub titles.
This is just one of my little utility applications that I toss out there just to see if it will be of use to anyone. If it works for you, then excellent, and if not, then I apologize in advance.
- Tab changes through screen reader options. This uses the same style that I used in Swamp.
- Space pauses and unpauses your video. This uses the same style that i used in Castaways and Lunimals (complete wi
th authentic pause and unpause sounds!)
- The Left and Right arrows will move you forward and backward by 1 second. Hold shift at the same time to move 10 seconds, Alt for 30 seconds, and Control is 1 minute.
- When paused, using the up and down arrows to quickly hear any sub titles you would like repeated.
- The plus and minus keys adjust the Sapi rate.
I'm sure there will end up being a few bugs. The person who requested this program hasn't been online yet this morning to hunt for them for me, hehe.
