Hi This will probably be my last mail about podcast transcription to the Ubuntu-UK mailing list. The transcribers team now have a separate mailing list specifically for transcription of audio data. It's hosted on launchpad and is part of the transcribers team.
https://launchpad.net/~transcribers I have cc:ed this mail to that list, making it (hopefully) the first mail to the list. Apologies if you're on both lists and see it twice. Many thanks to all of you who expressed an interest in audio transcription. Since we decided to set the team up and get people transcribing I've been talking to other podcasters and other interested parties about the project. As I may have previously mentioned, I'd like to get other podcasts onboard so that we can widen the scope of the team, not just catering to the Ubuntu UK Podcast, but anyone who would like their podcast transcribed. A good number of other podcasters have expressed an interest, which is great news. We have also hit a great milestone. Our first fully transcribed podcast! Thanks to the efforts of the Audio Transcribers team on launchpad, a full transcription of Episode 1 of Series 1 of the Ubuntu UK Podcast is now online:- http://linkpot.net/untied/ It's available in html and plain text format:- http://linkpot.net/summerier/ - html http://linkpot.net/brunted/ - txt We will probably look at putting a copy of that directly on the website, so that people can find it easily. If anyone has suggestions on how we can improve the look and feel of the plain text and html too, suggestions welcome. For a 40 minute podcast it's a surprisingly small amount of text, which just goes to show how little typing can be required to make this work :) Time to crack on with the other episodes, to get the full set done for now, and ask once more if anyone would like to get involved, please join the team:- https://launchpad.net/~transcribers Thanks, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
