[CLOSED] 0.15 BTC per transcript of LetsTalkBitcoin

[Crusher]

Please reserve episode 34 and 36 for me, if they aren't taken already. Or at least one of them.

Hello, I have done professional transcription work and would love to reserve an episode or two.  

Please reserve episode 34 and 36 for me, if they aren't taken already. Or at least one of them.  

Read again what qwk said:

You may only reserve a single episode. Once you've finished that one, you may go ahead and reserve another.

I'm sorry. I will take just 34 then.

[tennis]

i'll reserve 33 or whatever, is that available?  Should I get started?

Added.

Added.

A note on reservations: if you're the first in this thread to post "I'll reserve eXX", you may safely assume that you have that episode reserved, no matter how long it takes me to add that to the list. But double-check to make sure you're not working on an episode another guy already called dibs on.

Again, as a reminder, get yourself acquainted with the guidelines for transcripts! (see first post in this thread)

Also, there are now 20 episodes reserved that will expire within the next 4 days.
If you're working on them, please make sure to either finish your work until then or drop me a line so that I may extend the reservation.

I have two questions and would appreciate an answer from qwk or kluge:

- Do you include words that are repeated twice? for example:

"That that is the way we do it"

"I tell you it's it's not right"

- What if we can't make out something despite repeated attempts? I am partnering with another guy on one ep and if neither him nor me can make it out despite slowing down the audio, considering context and researching it online what do we put down? Something like "[unclear]"?

[qwk]

How long do we have for the transcription? I hope to finish mine this weekend.

2 weeks. If you need longer, you may extend a reservation, but I'd like to get things over with, so I'll not allow endless reservations, obviously

I require not to transcribe repetitions. Stammering, accents, repetitions, "uhm"s, clearing of throats etc. really don't make sense in a transcription.
The focus should always be on readability of the transcript and preservation of content and context. Not on word-by-word repetition.

IA certain liberty in transcription is allowed, as long as the meaning is unaltered.
I.e., you are encouraged to leave out filling phrases like "uhm, uh, you know" etc.
Ads have to be transcribed as well.

If you seriously are unable to make out something, just mark it as "UNINTELLIGIBLE" in you transcript. It'll either be caught in proofreading, or will have to be left unclear if no one can make it out.

[jambola2]

I think that everyone should do it like me !
If anything is unclear , make your best guess and then just bold it out. The proofreader can then replace the bolded word or just remove the bold if it is wrong.

We've been doing something like that internally. Marking the parts we have doubts about for review by the other person. I catch most of those but in some places I can't make it out either.

[jambola2]

I have started on E45 , if all other episodes get reserved and someone is looking for an episode , then unreserve E10 .

Oh I just read the part about "you know". Adam says that pretty much in every sentence and I've been insisting on including them all along.

[Kluge]

Any updates on the PR of Ep. 18?

ETA: Actually, 18 is slated to be proofread for tomorrow. Disregard what I said, heh.

That's fine (I think). Don't bother removing them if they're already in there, just try not to do it again.

Some more detailed recommendations for transcripts (these are not necessarily considered necessary, but while you're working on it, you might want to do not only a good job but a great one):

*Please use quotation marks instead of apostrophes for quotes. There'll be times where you'll find them quoting inside quotes.
*Please add quotation marks outside punctuation mark (except in some cases with question marks).
Good:
-“I am a Mexican.”
-You have to wonder, when using BurritoBucks, whether, if you were to instead see a “Pay now?” box, to pay now or later.
-Can I really eat at a place which tells me to “pay now”?
Bad:
-“I am a Mexican”.
-You have to wonder, when using BurritoBucks, whether, if you were to instead see a “Pay now”? box, to pay now or later.
-Can I really eat at a place which tells me to “pay now?”
*(unimportant) Please use oxford comma. My dog is big, hairy, and brown. (comma before conjunction in last item of a list)
*Please somehow note (bold formatting's fine) if there's a word you're unsure of. I go through it, so I'll catch it and change formatting back... unless I'm not doing my job.

Going to work on my transcriptions this weekend, should have at least one done by Sunday.

#1, how did cbhelp reserve so many episodes?
#2, he scammed me for .345 and i'm still trying to recover from that.

That was before the rule of one reservation per person.
Scam accusations go here.

[tennis]

Yeah, it's already been added there I think... anyways I doubt he'll do them.  Hopefully - not your problem.  I'm getting started on 33 thanks.
