OVERVIEW (Wikipedia)
The Teaching Company, doing business as Wondrium, is a media production company that produces educational, video, and audio content in the form of courses, documentaries, and series under two content brands: Wondrium and The Great Courses.

TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

  • Wondrium subtitles are directly encoded into the video stream which makes classic browser manipulation more difficult. Some videos have available subtitle files which skips steps 1,2,3. Audio access is available in .aac and .cmfa/mp4 which allows transcription. If the audio is in .TS format it is downloaded instead.

NEW AUTOMATIC WORKFLOW
→ 0. Find subtitles → if unavailable, perform steps 1,2,3. Otherwise skips to step 4.
→ 1. Download Audio
→ 2. Convert MP3 (Directly in browser)*
→ 3. Transcribe
(Optional)
→ 4. Generate GPT Translation
→ 5. Import GPT translation
→ 6. Overlay GPT Translation as main line.

  • (MP3 Conversion is not perfect and will fail for some videos, files are also downloaded for manual conversion if required).
