Thanks Adam. I started looking into transcription services. The issue is cost and audio quality so far. The going rate appears to be $1/min. So the avg Talentopoly episode would weigh in at $80. Plus a lot of the text would most likely be wrong due to the poor quality of Skype. But I'll keep searching. If you know of any good services that are free or inexpensive let me know.
As someone who runs a crowdsourced transcription company I can tell you it's not worth it. If it was we'd be hiring them, and the going rate would be $7/hour not $60. You'd get better quality with machine transcription - and that's really not saying much.
That's interesting. Though I wonder what the quality of the output is. They are no doubt foreigners at that price and will have the language barrier and Skype call quality to contend with.
How about getting the community to help? I could ask around - or you could set up a fund to pay for the transcript costs - I'll probably commit $20-30 to it.
Sweet. Glad you like the site. We send out a weekly email that has 20 of the top posts on the site. A lot of developers are starting to swear by that newsletter. ;)
I would love to see a transcript of the podcast as I'm not always able to hear podcasts.
