I was searching any way to include audio with text highlighting in an ebook I developed for iBooks which is an epub3 .
I know I can do this but I am unable to find any example of how to implement this functionality in epub3 specifically for iBooks, I've searched alot but didnt find any solution yet.
I was successfull in developing a fixed-layout epub3 with the help of following link: http://authoradventures.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-create-fixed-layout-ibooks-part_24.html
Any link to start with or any example of how to add this audio and text syncing functionality would be great . Need experts opinion on it.
Thank you all for any help.
First of all, the whole process is described in the iBooks Asset Guide, section "Read Aloud Books".
Second, note that SMIL/Media Overlay is supported by iBooks ONLY for Fixed Layout ebooks. No official support for reflowable ebooks. (See also: https://github.com/pettarin/rb_smil_emulator )
Basically, you need to do the following:
Assign an id to each XHTML element (usually, a text fragment, either a <p> or a <span>)
Create the SMIL file, associating each id from step 1 with a time interval of the associated audio file, containing the narration of the corresponding text (this is the time-consuming part)
Embed the SMIL file into your EPUB3 container, and add it to the OPF manifest
The Media Overlay specification is at http://www.idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epub30-mediaoverlays.html
You might want to start by looking at some samples:
FXL samples:
http://www.pubcoder.com/en/download/ (download sample EPUB, look for the page "Readaloud")
http://azardi.infogridpacific.com/resources.html (several FXL samples)
Reflowable samples:
https://readbeyond.it/ebooks.html
http://azardi.infogridpacific.com/resources.html (look for "A Christmas Carol")
EDIT: full disclosure: I am the Head of R&D at ReadBeyond.

What I have:
different video templates without logo
UI where users will select a template from that list
UI where users can upload their logotype, add mp3 file, text
What should be done:
new generated video based on this configuration.
What I found:
I can use ffmpeg and combine it all. But not sure how to make such animations with logo. Maybe there is existing gui.
I also found https://github.com/inlife/nexrender. But it works with Adobe After Effects and seems like what I need.
Example of result https://www.introbrand.com/logo-opening-mobiles.html
I'm not looking for the ready solution, just a few words - how to go, what to use..
This is absolutely new things for me, so if you could please suggest something or just tell me what's the best way - I'd appreciate this)
From what you described, I would say this is what you are looking for :https://creatomate.com/blog/video-rendering-with-nodejs-and-ffmpeg
I'm revising a manuscript for ChemPhysChem. They just provided a very simple templet here. However, I have some problems meeting the requirement:
Please follow our house style for references for example: [1] X. Y.
Name, A. B. Name, J. Abbr. 2016, 5, 111-120.
This kind of reference hides the title, and I can not find an existing style to meet the need.
I am using the following latex script:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[sorting=none, backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{ref_r.bib}
What do I need to do to solve the problem? Do I really need to build a new .bst file? Could anyone share their experience on submitting manuscripts on ChemPhysChem using LaTeX?
Don't use biblatex for journal submissions unless your publisher explicitly states that they do accept it. While it is a nice and flexible tool, biblatex is not yet the standard.
Just follow the instructions from the template and use
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%alternatively you may use
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\bibliography{mymanuscript.bib}
%and send the .bib file along with your manuscript
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Don't worry if the resulting style might be a bit different from their requirement, they won't use it anyway but convert your source files with their pipeline.
I changed to my latex using BibTeX back, and built a cpc.bst file for ChemPhysChem using the following command with the help of the youtube video:
latex makebst
It would not be that hard to create the bibliography style file using the guide of the above-mentioned video.
And the result looks like
this.
According to Microsoft ("Image Analysis" in https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Enrich-your-SharePoint-Content-with-Intelligence-and-Automation/ba-p/194174, from May 21, 2018), we should be able to search for text within images.
Is this working for you/anyone? If so, I would like to know what you had to do to get it to work.
I have a SharePoint modern team site with PNG images that contain clearly readable text...but search will not find anything. I have requested re-indexing.
I have had a Microsoft Support request (#10638094) open since June 27 with this question/issue, and no one--even after escalation--has been able to answer it.
Based on the article above, it appears that "MediaService" column(s) should be added to the library to support this; however, I can find no such columns in the environment (using PnP export to review).
Naomi Moneypenny and Kathrine Hammervold highlighted this functionality at Ignite 2017 (https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/Microsoft-Ignite-Orlando-2017/BRK2181, about 27:00), but it doesn't seem to be available/working (at least not for me).
August 24: So, after research, digging yet further, I have an escalated support ticket at Microsoft (#10638094, unsolved) and there are conversations at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Intelligent-Search-Discovery/Search-for-words-in-your-images-in-Office-365/ba-p/135703, https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Enrich-your-SharePoint-Content-with-Intelligence-and-Automation/bc-p/236625, and Does Office 365 image search work? If so, how?. I have yet to hear of this functionality working for anyone. I will keep digging, and I will certainly post if I hear anything. J
After some digging, from official it seems already released at the end of 2017. However there is no any related doc or official guide to this Text in image search function.
The 2 way i can think of perform text in image search.
Perform OCR yourself on the image before uploading the image and embed the text in image metadata.
Use support image type like IIRC and TIF that image are recognized.
In your case, you can upload the image and have another column that contains text and apply metadata to the image in a list/ library column.
OneDrive in another hand also has this function. For example, search for things like "cat" and it * should* pull up most pictures you have of cats. Its more likely using tag as label for the image instead of reading the picture it self.
Also, i believe OneNote has its index recognizable text and handwriting. Maybe this can point you to the right directions.
*Microsoft Azure's computer Vision offer service to recognized text in image. Maybe this can help.
"Is this working for you/anyone?" Yes, I responded to this post elsewhere and see it posted here, as well. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you HOW to get it to work or to verify that it is correctly configured. I can only suggest a test for you to see if it is working for you, as it works for me. I have not tested every way in which it could or should work. I have only discovered it working with PNGs I inserted into Wiki Pages in SharePoint Online. Those PNGs are generated using Snag-It to take Screen Captures and I do not see where Snag-It would be doing any OCR on the image to embed anything, etc. OCR is not even in the Snag-It help file, so I believe the PNG files are just simple PNGs. I insert them into the SharePoint Wiki page, which uploads them to the Site Assets library. And, when I search for a word in the image, the image is returned as a result - not the Wiki page. So, suggest you try a simple test of just inserting a PNG with text in it into a Wiki Page and give the index a bit of time to run to see if it works for you.
It seems like the functionality has matured recently. I have been testing it more thoroughly, and I have documented the results in my blog at http://www.collaboration-foundry.com/SharePointImageAnalysis.
Bottom line: It works for me in OneDrive and SharePoint (modern and classis), but I've only seen it work on the out-of-the-box Document content type--which limits custom solutions somewhat.
It's cool functionality when it works. Looking forward to seeing Microsoft build on this.

I have a task to parse links and titles from YouTube videos from one category (e.g. music).
I know that there's a huge amount of videos so that's my question. How to do it using for example nodeJS?
I have only one idea simply to use phantomJS and scroll scroll scroll down page to get as many videos as I can, but this solution is dumb.
Are there any other solutions, using YouTube API for example or other tools and methods?
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&type=video&videoCategoryId=10&key=Your Key Here
try using this. First find out which category video id you need
I have a field for embedding videos. In the description I would like to show a sample of what that code should look like. However natively EE will render the HTML. Is there a way to show exactly what the code should look like without it being rendered? Other fields have HTML that needs to render so if there is a global on/off it must be on.
Have a look at NSM Publish Hints
If we are talking about a specific CF in a channel, the way I go about it is as follow:
For external services (youtube/viemo): have a custom field (text) where people just have to paste in the ID of the video, and another field (P&T pill or dropwown) where editors choose the service (vimeo, youtube). The various embed codes are handled on the template side within an if/else or case logic
For HTML5 self hosted videos: have several file fields letting people choose videos in the various needed formats. These videos are uploaded through FTP and synced using the file manager.
Copy and paste your code into this Encoder and paste the output into the description field:
