All TED talks narratives extracted and cleaned.
This is a collection of the extracted narratives from TED (TED, TEDx, TEDEd, TEDArchive) talks, that has been parsed and cleaned.
This is also the data powering https://ted.saranyan.com
TED is an incredible organization that has brought stunning stories about the human race, its evolution, its advancements and challenges to the masses. And, I want to help spread these stories. (BTW, thank you Chris for changing our world!)
With about 2500 (at the time of this writing) talks, TED has recorded over an incredible 34500 minutes (give or take), which is 24 days of listening/viewing.
[Note - TEDx ~ 40,000 mins, TEDEd ~ 9500 mins]
Unlike A/V files, text has few advantages:
What is more interesting to me is how this can help not only in spreading the word, but interesting story telling products on top of this data.
For instance, here are few ideas, some of which I am currently exploring.
There are a lot of things we can do with it. Let’s do it.
Spread the story, build cool stuff using this data, contribute data or scripts to this repository, parse this in interesting ways, help spread stories that inspire, make the world a better place…you get it.
Issues, PRs welcome.
And, be sure to watch this space :)
