Keskidi has a very cool concept to add and edit video subtitles in a collaborative manner. Using a wiki approach for adding subtitles to videos is quite ingenious and practical. The idea is based on the fact that there are plenty of videos on the Internet, plenty of good documentaries, shows, food recipes, high-level free courses, but many of them don’t benefit to the rest of the world because of language barriers. Keskidi aims to change that. It works as a collaborative wiki in which users can come together and add and edit video subtitles. Here’s how it works: a user imports a video from a site like Youtube or DailyMotion and starts adding captions. This is where the wiki part kicks in. Other users will pitch in, translating the captions into their respective languages. There’s a timer tool for synchronization. Captioned videos can be embedded on blogs and other personal sites. Currently Keskidi operates with Flash video files, MOV and AVI. So, language is not barrier anymore to enjoy video.
