Re: [Avid-L2] Re: ScriptSync & v5

Timecode is irrelevent. The software syncs the written word with the audio waveform. The beauty is that you

don't even need the footage bin open. Just doubleclick on the line of the script and the footage is in the source window with an inpoint.
Additionally, finding words is very easy. Control F and type in the word. It goes right to the first instance. Control G
and it goes to the next. Examples would be, if you need the word "but" type it in go to every instance and listen to it. Try doing that with a transcript(often without TC or wrongTC) and you will be listening to most of the footage.
Or if you need to find instances when you want to know when the the subject talks about a specific thing. Just jump
through the script on your MC with ScriptSync.
It's a fantastic tool but with the price increase, in this economy, I strongly suspect that most will not buy it.

So, for my intelligibility of Scriptsync,
You need a transcript with a fair amount of TC's in it, right?
Now why would it be needed to have actual word recognition?
Just finding the duration of spoken words and match that with the duration
(char count) of the script within boundaries of the TC provided should get
you very close...
(perhaps throw in an exception list for each language, so strange words, eg.
words like eg are recognized as longer than expected)
This would work for most languages, and would require almost no processing
time.

That is, if you find the words in the sound fast enough...
So while i'm at it, why is the waveform in Avid, running on a quad 3 gig
machine, still slower than on my first M100 that ran on a single proc 80
Mhz?
Granted, it's more accurate, but for me just power is good enough so i can
see where someone starts/stops talking...
