jasonjgw: Updated wiki page in view of our discussion.

13:03:23 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: Some of these capabilities seem to exist already
13:04:28 [SteveNoble]
SteveNoble: YouTube uses its own proprietary technology to support the interaction where users can review the video transcript, search for a particular word, and then navigate to that part of the video
13:05:21 [jasonjgw]
Steve investigated, noting that the support for relevant capabilities is proprietary in YouTube.
13:05:30 [jasonjgw]
Steve: it supports searching and navigation to the point where the search term is found in the video. As far as Steve has determined, this capability isn't directly supported in existing Web specifications (WebVTT, TTML).
13:06:17 [SteveNoble]
raja: Google has some capabilities as well using VTT
13:07:00 [SteveNoble]
raja: Times transcripts are easier to add with ASR
13:09:11 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: Not sure if TTML or WebVTT specifications are well supported and which might be best to concentrate for new capabilities
13:10:25 [SteveNoble]
janina: WebVTT was a Google tech originally
13:10:57 [SteveNoble]
janina: Both are W3C specs so we can read them
13:11:36 [SteveNoble]
janina: Will need to differentiate between captions and transcripts
13:12:09 [SteveNoble]
Raja: The main thing is if they are inside the video or outside the video
13:14:28 [SteveNoble]
janina: Some video containers may be able to include these assets, may need to investigate
13:15:38 [SteveNoble]
Raja: There are differences in the way these assets are stored...whether it is streamed or a recording
13:16:42 [SteveNoble]
janina: We need to be clear that we need something more than just the verbal steam

janina: Finding what the Metraska (sp?) spec is and what it supports
13:18:34 [SteveNoble]
janina: Also MP4
13:18:46 [SteveNoble]
Raja: will look into this
13:19:05 [SteveNoble]
Raja: All major browsers support webvtt and to show captions or timed transcripts. A major open source web based video player supports showing both captions and timed transcripts

13:19:36 [SteveNoble]
janina: We discuss some of this in the MAUR
13:19:54 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: Will look at the MAUR and we can cite that
13:20:23 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: We can bring back next week

agendum 2 -- Collaboration Tool Accessibility User Requirements. -- taken up [from jasonjgw]
13:21:15 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: Updates?

13:25:04 [SteveNoble]
janina: So, there was some confusion on what source document to examine, and COGA was looking at the wiki rather than the FPWD
13:26:18 [SteveNoble]
scott_h: Have found Microsoft collaboration documents simpler than Google docs
13:26:39 [Raja_Kushalnagar]
Raja_Kushalnagar has joined #rqtf
13:28:28 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: Have noticed that Microsoft has been making major changes at high frequency, so perhaps they will be more inclined for accessibility updates in this regard
13:29:29 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: They have integrated some automated helps on document editing, so that is something else to look at in the AI discussion
13:31:10 [SteveNoble]
janina: We seem to be on the right track now on getting comments
13:32:38 [SteveNoble]
janina: Expect comments in perhaps 3 weeks
13:33:42 [SteveNoble]
scott_h: Have been looking more on this and have some contributions to make

agendum 3 -- Miscelaneous updates and topics. -- taken up [from jasonjgw]
13:35:14 [SteveNoble]
subtopic: XR and accessibility
13:35:50 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: Need to look at the Benetech grant, but still waiting for an email response
13:36:09 [SteveNoble]
subtopic: Metaverse
13:37:33 [SteveNoble]
janina: Discussed in recent leadership meeting. Desire to pull together related specifications and best practices on accessibility in the metaverse
13:38:26 [SteveNoble]
janina: Desire to identify anything that is at least FPWD
13:38:46 [SteveNoble]
janina: Need to get this done in 2 weeks
13:40:10 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: We have some of this in some of our documents, like SAUR and Natural Language
13:42:26 [SteveNoble]
Raja: Both time and space. Time, speech and video are typical to track, but with XR one also has to track space
13:44:00 [SteveNoble]
janina: Good to consider updates to these documents with XR in mind
13:45:00 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: Can bring back Metaverse standards discussion next week
13:47:04 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: Future of Interface workshop recordings are available. Would be good to investigate
