Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Hack : Web based face login for wikipedia

2019-08-12 Thread Santosh Shingare
Hello All,
I am glad to see too many comments and views, these conversations help
understand and improve upon. Let me be clear that this is purely a {HACK},
this is not official and it's only a hack, a step in AI. Most people have
concern on the following issue

*Privacy* - If some one wants to use such feature app need image to train
the model (AI Model), which is store in encrypted blob format (image not
visible to anyone, If any one want to use such feature then he have to use
under CC License)


*@Benjamin Lees : *Its secure! its not simply you show {X} Image to camera
and simply login to his account. What face technique I am using same technique
using in payment industry.

*@**Winged Blades : *Very soon I will share source code and blog, I hope
you will get you all answer.

@*Subhashish Panigrahi : *I went though all your comments, If some one want
to use such feature then he have to use under CC licence.
If you more doubt will discuss on phone/email.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Hack : Web based face login for wikipedia

2019-08-08 Thread Santosh Shingare
Hello Wikimedian,

3D face recognition has become a trending research direction in both
industry and academia. Using your face to authorize to unlock your phone is
popular, but on the web it has not been seen a lot, maybe because it’s not
trivial to implement. Is it possible to implement face verification using
just HTML5, Javascript and some Go? Yes! I did it in an hour using
Javascript, Nodejs, and OpenCV for wikipedia login.

I Implemented face recognition and web login for wikipedia. Please check
following video and screenshots. Very soon I will share code on Github.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Create text animation video from wikipedia article (Text2Video)

2019-03-14 Thread Santosh Shingare
Hello Subha,

Nice to hear from your side :)

- Is there a sample that we can check out? (I looked up for Text2Video and
found this <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHX8FSJWzrU> but I think I'd
rather not have any animation to save data if I was visually impaired
because I fail to see the purpose of the animation in the first place)
*=>  Yes!! You already saw the working app demo (I **recorded** ) in
youtube, please check link for more details  *
https://fxoshack.wordpress.com/2019/03/11/create-text-animation-video-from-wikipedia-article-text2video/*.
application **store** animation in .mp4 using ffmpeg ttol, Then I can
export in any format.*

- How many Indian languages have a working TTS as that would be the basis
for a tool like this? (Open Source tools like NVDA <
https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/documentation/userGuide.html?> which
uses machine synthesis which is by far the only available TTS for several
Indian languages)

*Here I tested 4 language (Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, English) other I have
not checked, very soon I will share update on this. **Accuracy**  is around
80%, some **accent** is not up to mark.*

- Which language Wikipedias have been tested on so far?
*(Marathi, Hindi) I have recording I will share.*

- I am yet to be convinced that VideoWiki is useful in any manner,
particularly from a digital accessibility standpoint (in simple words, why
one would use VideoWiki or what is the target audience for VideoWiki). It's
fun to play with a platform like this but I'm still waiting to see the
practical use (and I did have fun hearing to Wikipedia articles using
VideoWiki)
*VideoWiki is good product, they have their target audience and use case.
This app create very small video/Text animation (Max 1minute), I am
targeting to Airport (display), School-**School Bus**(display)**,
Bus/Train **(display)**, Displays in public area. *

- For something to work for Indian languages, the TTS itself should be
decent enough and the application should not be data-heavy (thanks to
carriers like Jio and in general drop in data charges, but we still have a
long way to go). I'm sure this is something that might have occurred to
others as well.
*Application not using heavy data connection, event app not making any
request for TTS. all processing happing in local system.*

- The other and the most important aspect, again speaking from a common
user's expectation, something that is intended for accessibility should be
mobile-focuses, meaning it has to start from an Android app as majority
(>470 mn[1] of India's Internet user population) Internet users access the
Internet from their smartphones whereas most of them wouldn't have access
to a computer
*It's WebApp, No Mobile.*

- Last but not the least, there is plenty of resources being spent for
languages like English and anything in English, IMO would be reinventing
the wheel whereas many Indian languages need support. Thankfully, Google is
adding more languages though they are not always Open Source and that
itself is a big issue for the Wikimedia community.



*NOTE :: Feel free to ask any question or will schedule hangout session
more clarification. *

[Wikimediaindia-l] Create text animation video from wikipedia article (Text2Video)

2019-03-13 Thread Santosh Shingare
Hello All,

The idea behind of this application is to create video (text animation with
audio). User can select article from wikipedia and app create video (text
animation with audio). Application works like editor it will helps you to
add text, text animation and audio. it will fetch text/media from wikipedia
using API, then click the "Create" button to generate video.


Please feel free to share your feedback.

Hello Tanveer,

I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for your contribution to
the Indic
communities development. I'm so glad that we work together.
I will try to be there (CIS office on 31 Aug) to say THANK YOU before you
say GOOD BYE to us.

Best of luck

[Wikimediaindia-l] React native login app with wikimedia API

2018-08-09 Thread Santosh Shingare
Hello All,

Wiki community in India is too big, every community need mobile application
(android/ios) for personal/community use. (like find wiki article near by
you on goole map, etc.)

Here you can find login app (react native android app) with Wikimedia API.
check this blog post, you can find git repo at end of article. If any one
have special community request to create custom app, you can use this app
as base.

Feel free to share your feedback/suggestion.

Thanks & Regards
