Transcript Workflow

Let's coordinate here to get transcripts of every episode completed.

Methodology

The programs below have been useful for automatically generating a transcription of audio or video, which then only needs editing to properly identify speakers, fix grammatical issues, and be made human-readable. Once this has been done transcripts can be exported as Microsoft Word documents, which allows for easy find-and-replace editing that implements wiki-formatting syntax before copying the finalized transcript onto its respective wiki page. In addition, exporting and uploading to the wiki a .vtt version of the transcript allows it to be used in many of our community projects. Some of the listed programs have free trials/transcription time, so don't hesitate to get involved!
