Is there a web based version of this editor?

Hi,
I am looking for a web based version of this editor. Is it available? I downloaded the code and ran it locally, but it is a desktop app version.

regards,
Rama

Hi @rkpujari, at the moment autoEdit is only available as desktop app for Mac, Linux and Windows, as explained in this talk the "front end" of the app could be reused as the front end of a web app, but that's not in a ready to use state.

What is your main use case? what are you trying to do?

Thanks for quick response. I am looking for a web based transcription editor which provides audio to transcription text synchronization feature i.e. when I click on a segment of the audio, corresponding transcription text should be highlighted and vice versa (when I click on any word in the transcript, audio should be played starting from there). transcription text and JSON (for synchronization) is obtained using some speech conversion API. this is the basic functionality I am looking for. other "nice to have" options are allowing editing of speaker names, highlighting words having less "confidence" (value provided by the API in JSON), exporting to different file formats (especially Word) etc.

I need to embed this editor in a web application, that's why I am looking for a web based editor.

ok, seems like the other project @bbc/react-transcript-editor might be more of a fit for what you are looking for. Also see list of feature we are working on here and here for that project.

And what are your users going to do with the transcripts? just correcting the text? or something else besides that?

I looked at that one already. Looks great, but doesn't have integration with Speechmatics (there is no adaptor written for that). I am using Speechmatics API for conversion. regarding the transcripts, yes, users will be correcting the text (utilizing the synchronization feature), add speaker names and later export it to word document and do all other formatting there. there are few other requirements, but these are the main ones.

I asked this question there as well and looks like you are the one who answered it. I am going through the code to understand how the existing adaptors work, to build a new one. thanks for your help.
