Re: [CODE4LIB] QR code vs Data Matrix?

Hi my esteemed listmates, Have you ever found help with animation outside your library? I posted on Blender on both paid and volunteer pages but not much headway. I've posted on reddit but that experience has not been rewarding just tryingto find good sites to post animation questions on. The d

I give Amara a big thumbs up. I've only used them once, but found their work to be top-notch, their price to be lower than expected and they were absolutely fantastic to work with, and that was with many multi-language speakers in the video. I'll definitely go with the again when the need arises.

How many parallel jobs are supported by the Apple M1 chip? I do a lot of parallel processing. In other words, I often define a function to do my work (such as apply part-of-speech tagging to a file), break my processing into lists (a number of files), and submit each item to each of my CPUs ("c

Hi, this should be a simple question, but somehow google failed me: what are you using to caption videos (obviously with standard-compliant captions) manually, i.e. using an existing transcript. Ideally, I'd like something similar to YouTube's caption editor, but we'd like to avoid uploading the v
