Anyone interested in transcribing TSOYA shows?
Anyone interested in transcribing Sound of Young America broadcasts?I'd like to have transcripts of the show to offer on the website as an added service, more quickly readable, more quickly scannable, more searchable.
I don't have the money to use a commercial transcription service, which typically cost like a dollar a minute. I just posted the most recent show on Amazon's Mechanical Turk, with a pricetag of $9 (it would be a bit more, but for weird Amazon reasons, it has to be $9 or less for the moment). If you're interested in doing it for that much money, you can go to the Turk, sign up, transcribe away, and get $9.
If you have any other bright ideas, please let me know.

$9 is a lot for a transcription task at Mechanical Turk. A service called "Casting Words" puts lots of transcriptions up there and typically they are around $3-4. I'm not sure how many minutes yours is. I'm sure this will get snapped up quickly.
Casting words is paying less, but they've also got much shorter casts, mostly. Seems like about $10/hr is their rate, which is pretty impressively low.
