Verifying Progress: 30% Complete

Notes On Transcribing:
- Transcribe word for word except for the following
- Condense any unnecessarily repeated words to just one instance.
- Omit any unnecessary instances of the phrases: "I mean", "You know", "You see", "Of Course", "So", and "Well"
- Skip any noises or laughing
- Trailing unfinished sentences or thoughts should be marked with '...'
- Use VLC (free) to listen at reduced speeds. Use the '[' key to slow down and  ']' to speed up.

Already have In the Sticks, Killing Game, Rachaels Mutt, and Bugs n Spiders. Might as well put me down for Open your eyes and Time in the Rack, too.

D.Knoge: I think you have the wrong thread. This thread is for transcriptions of the "Tales from the afternow" audio drama.

HyperialGuard

I'd love to transcribe The Librarian with No Name. It's my favorite episode and I need a weekend project.

Mark me down for that.

Are there any set conventions established for these? It makes sense to me that all the transcriptions should be formatted the same.

cimmerian

Thanks for stepping up to the plate HyperialGuard!

As for format examples, take a look at the already transcribed episodes I-III on the download page (marked by TXT):
http://rantmedia.ca/afternow/episodes.php

Some tips:

- Type out the narration word for word. Things you can leave out are things such as 'umm' and 'uhh' unless it's essential part of the story.
- Put in a timestamp once in a while (check the txt files for example)
- Try to organize the narration into sentences when possible

Thanks again!

Hey everyone...  Just checking in with a progress report so you know that I haven't quit the project or been abducted by aliens.  I've been off and on this past week, either being busy with life or having the attention span of a gnat.

Right now, I'm about 59% done with episode 15, and if I burn the midnight oil tonight without getting distracted by shiny things on the internet, I should be close to finished with it.

Good work to everybody chipping away at these, by the way.  I can't imagine knocking out as many episodes as Doodle's been working on without losing my mind!   :o
