Go voice replayer

    Keywords: Software

I have an idea to create an open source Go replayer with voice comments.

There is a Chinese website [ext] http://www.gotv.com.cn/ having the similar function I said but it is not open source and do not release the recording tools. They should have their rights for the commercial decision.

  • If you don't know Chinese, just click the links from the left side of the page and remember to turn on your speaker to listen.

However, I think it will be a great idea to share our Go knowledge over the internet.

With this online software, everybody can teach others and they will also getting new ideas through the teaching process.

Sorry that I am not good in programming. I hope you can help in this aspect.

Let's discuse the functions and requirement of this application:

  • Platform independent
  • The recorded file should be small in size [1]
  • User friendly and easy to use interface
  • Multilanguage interface

Please sign your name and comments if you also interested in:

  • 1. Create the software
  • 2. Record voice playbacks
  • 3. Learn Go through this visual and voice media
  • 4. Others ( please specific)

Benjamin Teuber: Hi, this sounds like a good idea to me. We already thought of the idea to integrate some audio comments into the UltimateGoServer, so maybe we can cooperate and have the GoVoicePlayer? as both a UGS-Plugin and a standalone application that shares the database with UGS. What do you think?

I also think UGS is a great project and agree with your idea. But as UGS is a large project and cannot be accomplished within a short period. Do you think the GoVoicePlayer? can be done sooner and let people enjoy it in a not far futher?


[1] Excuse me, but what do you consider small in size for an audio-visual file format which is going to extend over perhaps an hour of lectures?

I have some offline file from the above mentioned website. The file size is only about 5M each. I think the file size won't too large as the voice quality can be mono and not high.

Malweth: You may be interested in the Speex codec for speech encoding. This results in much smaller file sizes than MP3. [ext] Speex homepage
