How does a lecture note become a narrated video?

Short answer: You upload the note; Zıpır turns it into a scene plan, quote by quote; you approve it; then the narrated, subtitled video is made. The source can be PDF, Word, Markdown or plain text. The narration is in Turkish and the final call is the instructor's.

Can an English article become a Turkish video?

Short answer: Yes. The abstract of the AlphaFold paper in Nature (Jumper et al., 2021) became a Turkish-narrated "Document walk-through" video. The abstract is adapted for Turkish narration; every sentence on screen is tied to its place in the abstract:

  1. Proteinler yaşam için gereklidir; yapılarını anlamak işlevlerini anlamayı kolaylaştırır.Jumper et al., Nature 2021, abstract
  2. Tek bir protein yapısını belirlemek aylar, hatta yıllar süren titiz bir emek gerektirir.Jumper et al., Nature 2021, abstract
  3. Amino asit dizisinden üç boyutlu yapıyı tahmin etmek 50 yılı aşkın süredir açık bir araştırma problemiydi.Jumper et al., Nature 2021, abstract
  4. Benzer bir yapı bilinmediğinde bile atomik doğrulukla yapı tahmini yapabilen ilk hesaplamalı yöntem.Jumper et al., Nature 2021, abstract

The paper is CC BY licensed; the attribution and the note on changes are on the credits page. For videos made from legal or OHS text, see the proof page.

Where does the student see the source?

Short answer: Under every scene. The video is narrated and subtitled, and the source line shows under the scene; under the video a list also shows where each sentence sits in the document with a "Found in source" label. You do not have to pause the video to see the source.

What does the instructor check?

Short answer: Every scene, before production. The scene plan lists every scene with its quote and its page and line; no video is made until you approve. If a quote cannot be found in the source, that scene is not produced anyway.

Does Zıpır rewrite the lecture note?

Short answer: No. Every sentence that reaches the screen is taken from the document you give it; a sentence not in the document does not enter a scene. For researchers this means turning an article's abstract into a Turkish walk-through while keeping each sentence's place in the abstract.

Can I delete the note I uploaded later?

Short answer: Yes. You delete a job or your account from the panel whenever you like; the source file, scene plan, audio and video go together. What remains is written on the privacy page.

What happens when a chapter is updated?

Short answer: You upload the current note and make the video again; there is no need to fix the old video by hand. Price and video quota: Pricing.

Output

The video the student watches, under it the source of every sentence, and the video's text, which you can export.
