Session Ring Leaders - Raghotham Murthy, Michi Mutsuzaki

 

Number of attendees : 12

 

Motivation

 

  • The motivation for starting suraha came from the search for class videos and online lectures at stanford.
  • Typically the lectures go on for an hour or more. For eg., in a math lecture, if there is a theorem proof in the middle of the lecture, there is no way to get to the exact proof other than by scanning the video.
  • For the class videos, time tagging is present now but it does not solve the above mentioned problem of finding the start time of a particular snippet.
  • www.suraha.com was started to enable tagging video snippets with particular topics/keywords

 

What does 'suraha' mean

 

  • The word 'suraha' comes from Sanskrit language and it means 'humans'.

 

Who uses suraha

 

  • Currently suraha is used by Raghu and his friends at stanford for watching class videos.
  • However there are many users on suraha who are referred by google.
  • Currently the number of page views for suraha are a few thousand per day

 

Challenges

 

  • Dealing with different formats of audio/video content
  • Right now there is no unified way to play different audio/video formats.
  • Raghu and Michi are trying to see if they can convert to a certain common format on the fly..
