Software Concept: redub.io

Ever felt like you needed someone else's voice to dub something you can't yourself, either due to some bad or missing microphone?

Ever felt like some dubbing would sound clearer in the voice of Rambo but never managed to find the very words you wanted to use?

Worry not! ...at least once this project is made:

redub.io

(not an actual working link yet!)

Usage

There is a search bar. You insert in the name of a character or his dubber, or even a dubbing company (like e.g. Herbert Richers from Brazil), along with the desired word, and the website will show you any occurences of that word being said by that person, character, dubber or dubbing company. It will be grouped into works of digital media (e.g. movies, songs, etc) where the words grouped have ocurred.

All of the occurences can be downloded at once by providing a master .zip or .7z download. They can also be downloaded separately as Ogg Vorbis.

How it should work

There is a database, with the following hierarchy:

+ Dubber
|-+ Works
| | work
| |-+ Words
| | | word.ogg
| |/
| |-+ Metadata
| | |-- usual metadata like title, etc
| |/
|/
|-+ Metadata
| |-- Usual metadata which is returned with the
| |   query, like dubber name, type etc.
|/
/

The words are collected either by scraping words on digital media pieces, using word-separting speech recognition whose results are changed and reviewed manually where necessary, or the whole process is manual, using an audio editor.

The audio's meta tags define the dubber (Artist) and the work (Album) the words are on.
