Amara

Amara is home to an award winning subtitle editor that makes it easy to caption and translate video. Amara also hosts volunteer localization & accessibility communities, and offers professional tools and services for subtitles.

Amara is a platform that enables the crowd-sourced creation of captions, subtitles and translations of web-based video and audio media.

Because Amara supports web-based media, it enables the creation of captions of video and audio files hosted on a number of platforms. It is an open-sourced GPLv3 licensed project and welcomes contributions by users, translators and developers.

As part of the participation in the P4All project, the amara project code will be modularized and documented to encourage community/crowd improvement of the services. The amara subtitle editor and platform will evolve to enable lower-cost, faster captioning and translation with additional compatibility with media hosting platforms. Additionally, individuals can use the robust API provided by the service to build custom access and translation services.
