[CLOSED] LTB Transcription Project

[Kluge]

**On or near August 1st, 2014, we're going to transition this project over to a different model and integrate more closely into the LTB website. See working details @ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=562541.msg7762353#msg7762353**


Looking for transcripts? Proofread copies are pushed here as soon as they're done: http://www.scribd.com/ben_malec_1/documents -- use the top-right search bar and type in "episode 1," "episode 2" etc (the episode title should also work, and possibly the original air date as listed on SoundCloud if formatted the same way as used - ex. November 26, 2013). In case you were wondering why some transcripts have "travelers" and others have "travellers," transcriptions prior to episode ~70 will almost always be in US English while episodes after e70 are often in UK English, possibly with some hybridization if I meddled where I shouldn't have.

*Air date posted on letstalkbitcoin.com is sometimes used for newer episodes. There usually aren't discrepancies, but that's not absolute. If you can't find it, try +- a day when you search by date. Also know I have ~9 very early episodes (maybe e21-29 - something like that) which were never posted on my Scribd account. These mysterious episodes are available for me to post if someone ever bugs me about them - just will take some time (they aren't actually proof-read).

"Old-approved" transcribers:
*KieranJones1
*MethodMan
*skyered
*xkeyscore89
*Abdussamad
*marcotheminer
*Voodah
*Laura H.
*jambola2
*8n1
*salty17
*colin012
*im_here_now
*bitcoinlovesme

"New-approved" transcribers:
cooldgamer
2dogs

Payments will be made at the time the episode is proofread and deemed adequate - no more waits for batch payments.

"Fail Point" scores are no longer kept on record. UK English is now accepted. All other previous rules are still active and anything qwk says in this thread takes precedence over any new operational mechanics I've outlined. Rules may be modified based on conditions listed as they change. Rule changes absolutely do not apply retroactively and never will.

Transcription work flow: N/A
Work backlog: Minimal
Estimated proofreading wait time: 1-3 days
All transcriptions will currently pay .075BTC (unless an "old-approved" transcriber, where pay remains at .15BTC/episode until the project ends). A decaying payment mechanism is in effect (rather, we reserve the right to enforce it) -- from the time you reserve an episode, you have only 72 hours to finish and submit the transcript until .005BTC will be deducted from the amount to be paid at the start of each 24h cycle thereafter.

**NEW TRANSCRIBERS may reserve any one episode but must submit the first five audio-minutes of transcription to me via PM. This will pay .005BTC. If approved, you'll be allowed to transcribe the rest of the episode for an additional .075BTC. See this post for a more complete explanation. For formatting guidelines, see the OP here, and do please look at some of the transcripts currently finished by clicking on the Scribd link at the top of this post.**

Episode #s available for reservation:
None. Project as-is is completely finished (less PR).

To reserve an episode, simply post the number you want reserved. Upon finishing, provide a Scribd link (or something else we've accepted) and a BTC address. Please do not reserve more than two episodes at a time. Reservations will be cleared 18 days after the request was made or if you ask for it to be cleared if you're considered a "new transcriber," 33 days if you're considered an "old transcriber," since this'd be when the transcripts would pay nothing after the decaying payment effect. You cannot re-reserve an episode you previously reserved.

Updates:
(5/4/14) Entertaining other work requests both in proofreading and transcribing. They'll go through the same two-person process of error-checking as with LTB episodes. We're looking to maintain at least a $10/hr pay rate for everyone, keeping in mind that an hour of audio usually takes 4-6 man-hours to transcribe while proofreading a page of text takes ~2 man-minutes. If the audio or text needs to be translated, that's possible but unlikely, depending on the transcribers "on call" at the time you make the request. Expediting is definitely possible (your best bet would be to PM skyered), while freelance writing may be possible depending on the topic. We can also CC/subtitle videos and audio, no problem (though it takes a good bit more time). PM or email me (obviously, feel free to talk to individual transcribers privately, too).

(6/20/14) Reading transcripts? It may surprise you to know Qwk's not a bottomless pit of BTC! While we work on moving the project over to a donation-oriented model, it's fairly important we know what to expect in the way of donations. Any donations sent to  1Jr5cs35vesNwvx6FJcvRu9GooenBDKdvX will help us determine if and how the project should move forward (and count against what we charge qwk).

(7/30/14) The application process is now closed while we transition models, which may take anywhere from one week to one year. (hoping on the former, though!)

If you'd like any particular services or transcript modifications from us (listing of transcripts by episode will hopefully come in the form of LTB posting them with podcasts on their site in the future), do please let me know!

First post, first reserved. (heading to sleep, now)

I'd like to reserve episode 70.

I'm a first-time poster to the forum and maybe that disqualifies me...  But I'm a big fan of LTB, and a very-grateful consumer of the transcripts. I've been lurking here for a few weeks waiting for new ones to be uploaded. These transcripts have been an integral part of my cryptocurrency education and I owe a lot to everyone here. Kluge, qwk, thanks for organizing this effort and providing us with an important resource!

[bitcoinlovesme]

Episode 71 please.
Will try to do in a couple of weeks.
Thanks

[Kluge]

Updated list with reservations, changed thread title back to reflecting now-closed status. Added procedure to OP for bringing on new transcribers when project is [closed] (only Approved transcribers and new transcribers recommended by Approved transcribers may submit an episode and be paid) or [open] (episodes are specially marked to be transcribed by anyone new).

[coinnewbit]

Updated list with reservations, changed thread title back to reflecting now-closed status.

On hold permanently?

On hold permanently?

Probably not, but at least for 2-3 weeks. I updated my update. If transcriptions don't start flowing in again, the project will be opened back up. Also added a new system where Approved transcribers can recommend up to three people per year to transcribe episodes. That last mechanic will be removed if we ever catch up with the work backlog.
