Podcast Transcription – Transcribing my Favorite Podcasts, Just for Fun!
Posted by Carey in Podcast Transcription on Oct 26, 2010
I am on a mission to transcribe some of my favorite podcasts from bloggers I love reading/listening to or their work I admire, just for fun.
I am simply going to download podcasts from their websites and transcribe them.
After transcribing, I might send the bloggers the transcripts I’ve made or post the transcripts in the comment sections, for free!
Some of my favorite podcasts are really long – more than 30 minutes – and so, those will take quite a while to transcribe. But, others average 5 minutes and those can be done in a few hours.
This is to partly enhance my skills but also to grab the attention of the podcast bloggers as to what I am doing and what I can do to help them.
I notice a favorite blogger of mine really struggles to have transcripts of his podcasts online soon, due to the various commitments he has. I’m sure he could use a little help from me!
I’ve also lined up a couple of other bloggers I want to transcribe for, but if you have any suggestions – your favorite bloggers who don’t provide transcripts of their podcasts, yet – please feel free to mention in the comment.
What do you think? Do let me know in the comments!
