Open Bible Stories is an open project to create A Visual Mini-Bible in Every Language. In order to translate these visual stories, we are building a video translation API that will be powered by online crowd sourcing. Crowd sourcing provides a way for any person around the world to help in the translation of these stories. These individuals will simply upload their audio files to a website, and the API will process and piece together a translated version of the video. For more information on the API process, check out this API Diagram. The ultimate goal is to create a tool that any mission agency can use to aid in the translation of their video resources.
