Perhaps some folks here will be intereste= d... I watch a lot of conference presentations on YouTube (etc). Typically, th= ese have been edited into a collage, showing the speaker, a display screen,= and perhaps some graphics for the event. The display screen generally sho= ws styled text, bullet points, charts and other graphic images, etc. Although a blind person can listen to the audio track, they will miss all o= f the visual content. So, I've wondered what the prospects might be for im= proving this situation. For example, it seems like it should be possible f= or software to: - pull static images from the video stream - recognize the region containing the display screen - extract text and layout information - convert this to HTML - synchronize the HTML to the audio track Or, in this age of LLMs and such, perhaps the software could analyze the vi= sual content and be prepared to discuss it interactively. Might anyone kn= ow of any work in this area and/or have thoughts about how such a facility = "should" work? =20 -r To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an e= mail to blinux-list+unsubscribe@redhat.com.
