Audio transcription from the British Museum Soundcloud archive

An application for transcription of Soundcloud audio.

This application has four files:

  • template.html: the view for every task and deal with the data of the answers.
  • tutorial.html: a simple tutorial for the volunteers.
  • project.json: the setup metadata (make sure name and short name are unique, or create will fail.)
  • long_description.md: the long description for the app.

Creating the application

You need to use the PBS command line interface for creating and updating the project.

  • Create an account in PyBossa
  • Copy from your account profile your API-KEY
  • Navigate to your home directory and create a file called .pybossa.cfg
  • Within this file add following lines:
   [default]
   server: http://crowdsourced.micropasts.org
   apikey: API-KEY
  • Now clone the code to your server and change directory into the folder:
   $ git clone https://github.com/MicroPasts/montpelierVirginia.git applicationName
   $ cd applicationName
  • Now run:
   $ pbs create_project
  • This should have created the project.
  • If the long description has not appeared, then run the update project command as shown below
