Thank you for helping us edit our Transcripts.
Note: There is a short video on editing

You do not have to be a techie. All you need to do is
use a browser to access our museum app, be able to edit
a Word document, and enjoy working with others.
First, use your browser at words.carolinehistory.online
and register as a user with username and email address. and of
course a password. Note: to register, there are 2 checkoff
boxes that MUST be checked.
Next you will be emailed a confirmation email and be given
permissions to edit documents.
3 .Our Words app is a menu based app with categories
and topics. As a registered user, you can view certain
categories/ topics. Step 2 is where you tell us the Transcript
you would like to edit. It has a code of T and 3 digits.
Couple notes to help on this since it may be confusing.
First, you are DOWNLOADING a copy of the file to your laptop.
you will NOT be using the app to do edits. Second,
where files are downloaded on your laptop depends on how
you use your laptop. When it comes time to submit your
updated file, you will use the app to upload.
The firefox/ chrome/ opera/ edge browsers each behave differently
for downloading files. Once downloaded, its up to
you to edit the docx or doc file.
The file name convention is a simple one. Each file has a frozen
prefix portion and free portion. Don't mess with the frozen part.
You will see a _00.docx as part of the file name. The frozen part is the
T and 3 digit number. ex: T060
If you want to comment or question, use the Reply feature
of the system. We can have a conversation during your editing
adventure. Reply is your chatbox.
When you are done, simply go to Step 3 to your Topic. And do a Reply AND
use the Upload button. The edited transcript will be uploaded to us.
And thank you!
A super nice feature in our app is the ' Not Watching' switch. When its
turned on to "Watching", you will get an email if there any changes.
You do NOT have to call or email for attention.
What we are we hoping to end up with?
The transcripts are taken from videos of speeches given at
various events over the years. They are produced by Artificial
Intelligence which picks up all the sounds made during the speech,
There are plenty of "um's" and "uhs" that we want removed,along
with extraneous punctuation.
Also, sometimes,the speaker makes an obvious error that you may
detect from the general context of the speech. Please fix
those as well. If something appears incorrect, but the fix is
not obvious, leave it as is. Hopefully,a knowledgeable person
will read the results and make further edits.
JOK and others spent lots of years of their lives trying to understand.
We want to help them express their knowledge to a wider audience than
the ones who simply heard words and maybe can view a dusty dvd.
**note:
it wqould be nice to identify who the unknown speaker is to transcript T003. do you have an idea on hjow to locate?

howto- edit transcripts
Thank you for helping us edit our Transcripts.
You do not have to be a techie. All you need to do is
use a browser to access our museum app, be able to edit
a Word document, and enjoy working with others.
First, use your browser at words.carolinehistory.online
and register as a user with username and email address. and of
course a password. Note: to register, there are 2 checkoff
boxes that MUST be checked.
Next you will be emailed a confirmation email and be given
permissions to edit documents.
3 .Our Words app is a menu based app with categories
and topics. As a registered user, you can view certain
categories/ topics. Step 2 is where you tell us the Transcript
you would like to edit. It has a code of T and 3 digits.
Couple notes to help on this since it may be confusing.
First, you are DOWNLOADING a copy of the file to your laptop.
you will NOT be using the app to do edits. Second,
where files are downloaded on your laptop depends on how
you use your laptop. When it comes time to submit your
updated file, you will use the app to upload.
The firefox/ chrome/ opera/ edge browsers each behave differently
for downloading files. Once downloaded, its up to
you to edit the docx or doc file.
The file name convention is a simple one. Each file has a frozen
prefix portion and free portion. Don't mess with the frozen part.
You will see a _00.docx as part of the file name. The frozen part is the
T and 3 digit number. ex: T060
If you want to comment or question, use the Reply feature
of the system. We can have a conversation during your editing
adventure. Reply is your chatbox.
When you are done, simply go to Step 3 to your Topic. And do a Reply AND
use the Upload button. The edited transcript will be uploaded to us.
And thank you!
A super nice feature in our app is the ' Not Watching' switch. When its
turned on to "Watching", you will get an email if there any changes.
You do NOT have to call or email for attention.
What we are we hoping to end up with?
The transcripts are taken from videos of speeches given at
various events over the years. They are produced by Artificial
Intelligence which picks up all the sounds made during the speech,
There are plenty of "um's" and "uhs" that we want removed,along
with extraneous punctuation.
Also, sometimes,the speaker makes an obvious error that you may
detect from the general context of the speech. Please fix
those as well. If something appears incorrect, but the fix is
not obvious, leave it as is. Hopefully,a knowledgeable person
will read the results and make further edits.
JOK and others spent lots of years of their lives trying to understand.
We want to help them express their knowledge to a wider audience than
the ones who simply heard words and maybe can view a dusty dvd.
3 basic steps need to be done to load video. I will explain the parts in general (in case you want to use your own app), or if a specific app.
the steps are:
-convert the dvd/video into iso or mp4 container files. the app in this writeup is: dvdfab version 8.
-compress the container file into a single mp4. the app here is: handbrake.
-upload compressed file into a category/ topic on the museum system.
step1.
most dvds contain 2 directories (video_ts/ audio_ts) and a bunch of *vob files. you need to end up with a single file in the iso format. so if you are a techie, use whatever and do the conversion.
if you are not a techie, then..
-put in the target file. click OK
-the DVDfab app will process your dvd in tray and make the target file. There may be dvd read errors or other info messages. respond appropriately. Here, click OK to accept the target file name, and click Start to get things going.
--this is an intermediate step. sit back until 100 percent.
--almost done. you will get a mostly white screen that simply reaffirms the target file. end this blank screen. then you will get this reassuring screen that all is ok.
-once the iso file is made, you can proceed to step2.
Being a Registered user lets you do a bunch of things.
To register:
The administrator of the Museum site will process your request to Register. You will be sent a confirmation to the email address you provided. If there is a problem, email support@carolinehistory.online for a resolution.
To Get Notifications of Changes:
super nice feature is getting email notifications of changes on a Topic that you are interested. To activate, simply look at the Topic of interest, click the 'Not Watching' icon. and select Watching. you will get email notiifcations of any changes to this topic.
We mourn the loss of our long-time President, JOK Walsh.
JAMES OWEN KNOTTS (JOK) WALSH of Denton, MD passed away on Thursday, July 13, 2023, at Maryland MICU Hospital in Baltimore. The former Attorney, President of Caroline County Historical Society, Economic Development Director and Coast Guard Vietnam veteran was 75 years old.
Born in Tucson, Arizona where his late father, Capt. Quentin R. Walsh, Sr. was recuperating from disabilities incurred in World War II, Walsh was a resident of Denton from the age of two. His late mother was the former Mary Ann Knotts from a 300-year-old Eastern Shore family.
JOK spoke fondly of his childhood and all the youthful escapades he and his Denton friends engaged in. Including being one of the “Denton Boys” a wild, joyful bunch! After graduating from North Caroline High School (1965), and after attending University of Maryland College Park, Walsh decided he needed a break, so he and a fellow Denton classmate left for St. John’s Island in the Caribbean and spent a year on the Island enjoying life. JOK said his love of history and telling stories really began on St. John’s, camping on the beach, (the Mamas and the Papas had just departed), he learned about the area and started earning money offering tours to tourists who were curious about the area, tooling his clients to sites in a newly purchased old jeep. He managed to do very well.
JOK joined the Coast Guard in 1968 and served almost two years aboard the icebreaker USCG Southwind. After having circumnavigated the globe, reaching ports in both Artic and Antarctic, South America, Africa, New Zealand, and others, Walsh asked to be transferred to Vietnam for dangerous Mobile Riverine Force duty which was tasked with patrolling the waters of the Mekong Delta and at Cat Lo, earning the Navy Commendation Medal with Valor and the Republic of Vietnam Medal with Bronze Star for combat action while serving on the USCG Cutters Point Marone and Point Welcome. Later in life JOK became a member of the Coast Guard Combat Veterans Association where he found much enjoyment in their company.
After his discharge in 1974, as an E-5 BM2 (Boatswains Mate), Walsh attended Salisbury University and earned a BA in History. Back in Denton, he became active with the Jaycees, beautifying downtown Denton with trees, ornamental lighting, and painting downtown business exteriors, removing billboards etc.. He was a working member of the Denton Fire Department for several years, and an active member of the young Democrats. He earned a Juris Doctor degree at the University of Baltimore School of Law. And for a short time, worked in the law office of his uncle ‘Jimmy’ James Owen Knotts, III, but soon realized that his preference was to grow businesses.
Walsh was an Economic Development professional working for various not-for–profits from 1982-2013 when he retired. While earning many awards, he often said his biggest achievement was to “go beyond” the typical three–categories of Economic Development which are business attraction, business expansion and business retention. He would say I like the challenge of (1) growing entirely new companies; (2) problem-solving; (3) agricultural diversification; (4) commercial, small business development limited to abandoned historic districts; and (5) infrastructure development. He would say that he liked the challenges of …. Which is why he was so successful in running a five-county Chesapeake Country Economic Development (1982-1998) and Caroline County Economic Development Corp. (2001-2013).
Along with his professional career, Walsh was always involved with volunteering in the community. He found his niche in history and was elected President of Caroline County Historic Society in 1987. J.O.K. made it his mission to preserve the history, stories and if possible, structures within the County. Under his leadership, 47 structures were restored with many serving as tourist destination sites. There was no limit to the subjects that he researched, documented and presented to the public regarding the county history: to include, but certainly not limited to Indians, railroads, shipbuilding, vessels, agriculture, archaeology, World War I and II, Korea, Vietnam, stories of local men & women, preserving oral histories/stories, and creating a Museum of Rural Life for the public; Starting from scratch with his friend, former Maryland archivist, Pat Guida, who, since 1989, together has uncovered important African-American history, documenting and sharing their findings to benefit countless African-American projects. This research allowed him to make significant contributions to the creation of the National Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway. Spearheading projects to preserve and interpret sites along this now Federal All-American Road. JOK was so proud of preserving Caroline County’s history and would tell anyone so.
Words that best describe Walsh’s adult life: Country, Friends, Community, and Preservation of the County’s history and structures.
Mr. Walsh is survived by his sister, Bronwyn W. Zolper (Bill) of Rehoboth Beach, DE; four nephews: Carl William Zolper III (Kelly), Matthew Zolper (Gia), Casey Zolper (Jaime), and Patrick Zolper (Susan); and 11 great nieces and nephews.
JOK’s companion, Kathy Mackel, worked closely with him on all the projects and opened a new life of travel abroad. Creating many fun trips, Kathy gave JOK what he always asked for…. “The best day of his life”. A hard task to fulfill!
