Wide Review request for DAPT

Dear HTML Working Group,

The W3C Timed Text Working Group (TTWG) (Charter<https://www.w3.org/2023/04/timed-text-wg-charter.html#coordination>) wishes to inform the HTML Working Group of the Working Draft of the Dubbing and Audio description Profiles of TTML2 (DAPT) Recommendation at https://www.w3.org/TR/dapt/ .

DAPT is a TTML-based format for the exchange of transcripts and scripts among authoring, prompting and playback tools in the localization and audio description pipelines. A DAPT document is designed to carry pertinent information for dubbing or audio description such as type of script, dialogue, descriptions, timing, metadata, original language transcribed text, translated text, language information, and audio mixing instructions, and to be extensible to allow user-defined annotations or additional future features.

The TTWG invites feedback on DAPT and seeks input on the questions raised as issues within the Working Draft, for example on whether it is important to support direct embedding or external referencing of recorded audio.

If you have feedback, we welcome it either in response to this message, or as issues raised against the DAPT repository, at https://github.com/w3c/dapt/issues/ , and request that any feedback is provided by September 10th 2023.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Nigel Megitt, co-Chair W3C TTWG
