I had an idea which I'm looking to realize, but I have insufficient skills to build it myself.
So, while I search for interested people, I also look for something as close as possible to my idea.
The Big Project (it's the name of my project) is an editor for:
Raster, Vector and 3D graphics
Video
Audio
multimedia formats which is able to generate, edit, open and write such multimedia types.
Additionally, the big project handles the conversion between some multimedia formats in an exotic way: OCR, Text To Speech, Speech Recognition, ASCII Art and
traceout of raster graphics, while other conversions still remains like rastering, rendering, etc.
As an editor and processor, The Big Project has the features of the software on which its concepts are based, like drawing and retouching for raster
graphics, primitive modeling, modifiers, animations and the like for vector and 3D graphics, video editing features, sound synthesis, sequencing, etc.
Basicly, The Big Project is inspired on: GIMP, Inkscape, Blender and FL Studio with conversions done with something like PagePro, Dragon Naturally Speaking,
SAPI5 and AALib.
Minimum required file formats are png, svg, obj, wav, mp3, ogg, avi, mp4, mpeg, midi, html and pdf.
The Big Project must feature a GUI which is similar to Max/PureData/VVVV/whatever, but with nodes listed in kind of menu instead of manual typing.
In order to achieve the big project as fast as possible, it has to be a mashup of:
tesseract
sox
ffmpeg
imagemagick
espeak
autotrace
vort
aalib
APIs, together with a speech recognition library I was unable to find (so it's left to the bidder to find out one)
Language supported by OCR, TTS, SR, manual and user interface have to be Italian, English, Spanish, French and German.
Main target platform is Windows, Linux and Mac are welcome.
The final product will be delivered as OpenSource, so please (since I escrow funds with no returns) be kind with bids.
