Good point Tom,
Other than the individuals who created some of the apps here there are
probably few people who can do a thorough job of explaining every
feature in an app. So, help files of whatever type are probably going to
have to be basic in what they provide. Things like regex searching,
variations on Strong's number system and other language features
probably wouldn't get much coverage. If the past is any indication there
wouldn't be many volunteers to do documentation at detailed levels and
no one wants to sit through a long wordy video just to get started.
So, quick tour videos would be quick and simple. Possibly so simple that
one would not have to get very wordy. Just the pointing to a tool and
showing what it changes on a screen, even without words may be enough to
get many started. We not only have the problem of the deaf but also
people who don't speak the language in the video. So at the heart of
doing a video would be the showing not the telling.
A video with no sound and various blank places for text but without text
could be produced. Various voice overs in different languages could be
done and using blue screen and text insertions tools text for different
languages could be used to add text latter. The people in the videos
would just be voices. No faces or hands. In the case of Bishop even the
phone screen shots could be something added by blue screen so shots in
other languages can easily be done.
I have not done video editing in years but If someone can suggest a good
free video app I can create a prototype proof of concept. I have both
Windows and Linux Mint to use and Gimp in both for still shots.
