Note: January 18, 2026 A talk on exploring FrameStory was given at MangaloreFOSS at NITK Surathkal. Access the slides for the talk here.
While building TranscribeIt, we have planned to implement a video description service for making video content accessible for visually impaired people.
We looked into FrameStory for implementing this feature. However, the package was unmaintained and lacked compatibility with newer Python versions and tooling, causing interruptions with our workflow.
So, we decided to fork the project and add additional features for supporting TranscribeIt and relevant open-source accessibility projects.
That’s how framestoryx (FrameStory Extended) was born. This will be developed in parallel by the community in an independent manner.
