QWK, which episodes do you have me down for?

Read the fine manual: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=294947.msg3161916#msg3161916

 

Yeah, I checked that, it shows me down for 8 episodes...

[qwk]

Yeah, I checked that, it shows me down for 8 episodes...

Just post which ones you really want to have and I'll delete the rest.

[devthedev]

Well, did you mistakenly put my name when someone else reserved it? I don't want to have double work done.

EDIT: I do like 30, 31, 36

[qwk]

Okay, so I'm finishing up 55, is it possible to do 44 and 16 + 17 as well?

Now I found it 

[devthedev]

I'm going to work on 44 and 16 + 17 then.

Episodes are proofread by Kluge before the bounty is paid.
Please check your transcripts against these guidelines below to make it as easy for him as possible.

Formatting guide lines:

Formatting's the biggest time-waster, because someone else takes the time to format something "wrong," and then I erase all that and redo it. This's why it'd be most time-efficient, I think, to have one guy do it all, but it's also reasonable to make it a team-effort for the huge backlog.

*TRANSCRIBE THE ADS!
*If you're new, please check finished transcripts for an idea on preferred style and formatting.
*"Bitcoin" is often not a proper noun, and "bitcoins" almost never is. If you're talking about Bitcoin, it is, but if you're talking about a bitcoin or bitcoins, it isn't.
*Start the transcript with a list of participants. For example,

Code:

Participants:
Adam B. Levine (AL) – Host
Andreas M. Antonopolous (AA) – Co-host
Stephany Murphy (SM) – Co-host
Asher Tan (AT) – Co-founder/CEO coinjar.io
Ryan Zhou (RZ, AKA “zhoutong”) – Co-founder/COO coinjar.io

*In the above formatting, note how they all have two-letter acronyms in parentheses. Use these two letters to show who is speaking (including the host). For example, SM: I received an email from a listener [blah blah blah]. Using their first name is also fine, so long as you are consistent. Feel free to introduce other styling or formatting changes so long as they increase readability and are consistent throughout the entire transcript.
*It would be preferable for you to take the time to look up proper names instead of having me do it. You can usually just type the whatever's name into Google followed by "bitcoin." Google will often either confirm your guess or give you the correct spelling if you aren't way off.
*"Find-and-replace" is often being misused. Please think about all the words or names it may be replacing before using it. After using it, do a "find" on the replaced word to make sure you haven't unintentionally changed a bunch of words throughout the transcript.
*If you add timestamps (which is awesome), please only add a timestamp after a speaker has fully finished speaking and it goes on to a new speaker. Please also have the timestamp be accurate for where it is in the transcript, which should be exactly after the previous speaker FINISHED (not started) speaking.
*Ideally, upload your files to Scribd in .odt or .doc format (.odt preferred). Scribd does not provide the option to download files which were uploaded in .pdf as .odt unless the file was originally uploaded in one of those document containers.
*Please start sentences beginning with a conjunction with a hyphen. -So, this way, you aren't as tempted to create a 500-word run-on sentence. Ideally, just leave the conjunction out, but I understand it's hard to ignore words when transcribing.
*Please don't skip sections. You'll have to redo them, and it's a huge source of "fail points."
*"Fail points" is a rough measurement of how many errors were in the transcript. Ideally, a transcription should have less than 100 FP. An episode with more than 250 FP is considered really freakin' bad, and I charge qwk a little more for them.  

Minor grammatical errors (missing punctuation which doesn't affect readability) – .5FP
Misspelling a proper name, without changing how it sounds – 1FP
Omitting/mistranscribing an unnecessary conjunction (or other "insignificant" word) – 1FP
Misspellings – 1FP
Significant formatting error – 2FP
Significant grammatical errors (affects readbility) – 2FP
Misspelling a proper name, changing how it sounds – 2FP
Omitting/mistranscribing a significant word (doesn't change meaning of sentence)- 2FP
Omitting/mistranscribing a significant word (changes meaning of sentence) – 5FP
Omitting a sentence – 10FP
Omitting a paragraph or more (not fixed - transcriber must retranscribe!) – 25FP

[Kluge]

Oof. I fucked that up.

"*Ideally, upload your files to Scribd in .odt or .doc format (.odt preferred). Scribd does not provide the option to download files which were uploaded in .pdf as .odt unless the file was originally uploaded in one of those document containers."

should be:
"*Ideally, upload your files to Scribd in .odt or .doc format (.odt preferred)." (ETA: .docx is also fine - just not .txt or .pdf, please)

(extra, not relevant to most) *For segmented episodes, either add relevant participants under the header of each segment, or add them all at the beginning of the transcript for the whole episode with a note describing who's participating in a particular segment. Example:

Code:

Participants:
Adam B. Levine (AL) – Host
Andreas M. Antonopolous (AA) – Co-host
Stephany Murphy (SM) – Co-host
Specific to 20.2:
Dan Kaminsky (Dan – clip only, not an actual panelist) – Security researcher (primarily in the field of penetration testing)
Specific to 20.3:
Asher Tan (AT) – Co-founder/CEO coinjar.io
Ryan Zhou (RZ, AKA “zhoutong”) – Co-founder/COO coinjar.io
Cory Johnson (Cory) – Bloomberg West anchor
Emily Chang (Emily) – Bloomberg West anchor

ETA: Please don't ever add breaks unless a speaker has completely finished speaking and a new speaker is talking.

ETA2: I misspelled readability in FP guidelines, too. lol

Some other less-important (and rather wordy) notes...

Added that to the OP.

Can I proofread ?
It would be easier and lesser time consuming for me , I could be able to help more often and would love to do that.

Edit : After re-reading kluge's guidelines , it seems that he gets paid ? I do not want any payment , I would love to help proofread.

Why did you post that as a new thread and in "Bitcoin Discussion", where it's absolutely offtopic?
Please, don't make things any more complicated than they already are, let's keep everything in one thread.

Hi there,
I'd like to reserve Episodes 39, 45, 52 please


I'm getting started on it right now.

I'm halfway done with completing the transcribing of Episode 52 - Life on Bitcoin


Since we are only allowed to reserve one episode at a time I'll be taking out Episodes 39 and 45 from reservation and  making it available

Episode 52 is being transcribed and I'm working diligently on it

Thank you

No one trust this person, this person is insane. This person has scammed me and continues to lie about paying me back, leading me on. This person will do any thing for money and has no morals. "Kylie" is the name, but is in reality some creepy sub-man.

[zvs]

I skimmed through a few transcripts and some of them aren't so great.  Tons of errors. =p

Anyway, I will have #19 finished by the end of Sunday (or sooner)

ed:  i suspect some of these may be being partitioned out and put on mturk for, well, "not very much" per segment

[Kluge]

Some more rules to add to the growing, oppressive list:
*DO NOT PARAPHRASE! Keep their words and speaking style in-tact. Adding in "missing" words which are necessary for the sentence to make sense is fine, so long as you put it in brackets. If there's a line in an episode where a guest says "I really think the IRS has their knickers twist," you can instead write that as "I really think the IRS has their knickers [in a] twist." If there is a significant and obvious factual error, you can also add a note in brackets. I did this once where someone calculated - I think it was something like 2% of $2m as being $4k, when it is, of course, $40k.
^*Hopefully, you can figure out a good compromise between the "DO NOT PARAPHRASE" rule and the request to not transcribe "insignificant" speech quirks such as "umm," stammering, or if a co-host may choose to say "my testicles agree" every time a guest finishes a sentence.
*If a sound is important for context, add it somehow, maybe in asterisks *sound of bag unzipping* or something similar, maybe -sound of whatever- or [sound of whatever].
*All transcripts should be in American English (-ize instead of -ise), mostly because this is how most of the transcripts, so far, have been written. This includes some other related "American" writing rules, such as using the decimal as the radix point, so $25,000,000 is twenty-five million, not twenty-five. American English has some other minor rules you don't have to bother looking up unless you really want to... we use the oxford comma, for example. ("gays, lesbians, and bisexuals" instead of "gays, lesbians and bisexuals")

(condensed list of rules: add the participants at the beginning of a transcript, write in American English, transcribe the ads, don't paraphrase, be consistent, write like you want people to fully understand what people are saying.)

ETA: Exception to the "don't add breaks" rule. It was done appropriately in e56. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=294947.msg3575821#msg3575821
