Segador Esforzado (English)

4 min read

What

Segador esforzado is a methodology and a set of tools to transform past and undergoing creation material into a publishable and shareable network.

The name and more is coming from a poem, “Segador Esforzado”, by León Felipe: poesi.as/lf-segador.htm

Review the tools of the methodology

Siega (Reaping)

From Latin secāre “to cut.”

f. Action and effect of reaping. f. Time when reaping is done. f. Set of reaped crops.

DRAE

orejas (ears)

CLI tool to manage audio files (local/Nextcloud) and transcribe them with Whisper.

Usage:

  • siega orejas sync: Prepares the audio files (optionally moving them from a source).
  • siega orejas stt: Processes, renames, and transcribes the audio files.
  • siega orejas all: Executes both steps.

azada (hoe)

Converts PDF to PNGs by page,
named Obra - N / M
with N = current page, M = total number of pages.

Usage:

  • siega azada [-h] [-o OUTDIR] [--obra OBRA] [--dpi DPI] [--template TEMPLATE] [--no-pad] pdf

museiza2

From a directory, recursively,
creates an index.md file linking
subdirectories and images,
in the style of Obsidian and Wikimedia.
For images, the date is extracted from the file name.

Usage:

  • siega museiza2 DIR
  • siega museiza2 [-h] [--overwrite] [--no-overwrite] [--image-alias {stem,filename,none}] root

Molino (Mill)

From Late Latin molīnum.

m. Machine for grinding, consisting of a millstone, a bedstone, and mechanisms necessary to transmit and regulate the motion produced by a driving force, such as water, wind, steam, or another mechanical agent.

DRAE

museador

From geometry to geography. Paint regions and walls on an image,
which are exported to GeoJSON.

Usage:

pizarriza

Independent project based on museador concepts, but focused on blackboards:

  • Geometry → structured data (Project | Knowledge Domain | …), without surfaces/material/audio.
  • Simplified interface with larger visual selectors.
  • Image adjusts to available space.
  • Two modes to create areas: [All there is] (entire board) and [Picky] (draw areas).
  • Each area can have a block transcription of the written content.

TODO: It’s unclear which parts work and which do not. TODO: Not deployed at https://pizarriza.photonbit.es

cuaderniza (notebook-izer)

Does not exist yet but is very similar to pizarriza.

One difference is that blackboards are temporally linear, while a notebook is by pages.

Additionally, the notebook can have one or more “motifs” or “intentions.”

TODO: Implement TODO: Deploy at https://cuaderniza.photonbit.es

oído (ear)

Refines the transcriptions generated in the siega phase. Allows correcting text (STT) and selecting/editing metadata extracted from the file name or EXIF data (MediaInfo).

update_icon_mapping

Synchronizes the mapping of icons and colors for the virtual museum. Reads files in content/meta/classes/*.md and updates class_visuals.json.
