Calling developers for a summer of creating subtitles tools

CCExtractor, the most used open source tool for subtitle extraction, has been invited by Google to participate in Google Summer of Code 2017 (GSoc). Opensubtitles and CCExtractor want to cooperate this summer to improve the open source ecosystem for subtitles.

If you are currently enrolled in an university (any country), love programming, love subtitles, and would like to spend your summer working in a well paid job, take a look at Summer and Code and CCExtractor in particular.

You can read all about Summer of Code here: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/
And specifically about CCExtractor here: https://www.ccextractor.org/doku.php?id=public:gsoc:ideas_page_for_summer_of_code_2017

We encourage you to bring your own ideas. What could you code in 12 months that would blow everyone’s minds away? What program have you been itching to write for a long time but never got to it? Well, this is your chance.

Remember: It’s Open Source. It’s sponsored by Google (Google pays you directly). It’s subtitles. It’s fun. It’s a chance to work with alike minds that share your passion.

The Role of Subtitles in Trivia Mastery

The 90FM Trivia Contest, hosted annually by the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s student-run radio station WWSP 90FM, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of trivia. Established in 1969, this 54-hour marathon challenges participants with a relentless stream of questions, demanding not only vast knowledge but also strategic resourcefulness. As teams gear up for “Trivia 55: NO LIMIT,” scheduled for April 11-13, 2025, the importance of diverse research tools becomes ever more apparent.

What can global subtitles reveal about how often – and how meaningfully – films say ‘I love you’?

New research by film data expert Stephen Follows uses subtitle data from OpenSubtitles to explore how often films include the phrase “I love you” and how characters respond when they hear it.

Drawing on over 72,000 English-language subtitle files from fiction feature films made between 1911 and 2022, the analysis reveals patterns in cinematic declarations of love across genres and decades.
