100% there are services! I believe that Azure ML/AI has a natural text transcription service.
In theory I could try and tweet at Seth Juarez@microsoft to see if I can get a sweetheart deal.
But the more I think about the previous poster's position on the text, the more I convince myself that it might be worth a few bucks an episode for me to pay out-of-pocket if it means improved accessibility for users with disabilities.
Not really because it's good business, but more because I've really come to believe in the value and power of implementing accessibility features.
I'm actually starting to get a little teary eyed thinking about that blindness activist's viral video where he broke down physically sobbing the words "thank you" when he saw all of the accessibility features that Naughty Dog added to The Last of Us 2. (I'll hunt the video for people who haven't seen it, but be warned that you will probably bawl your eyes out like a school-child).
From a cost perspective, I'll be putting in hundreds of fake dollars worth of time. The people I interview will be effectively donating hundreds of dollars worth of their own time.
The least I can do is put some serious thought into plunking down dozens of dollars of pocket money for a transcription service.
I'm more sold on the idea than I was in my previous post (5 minutes ago)
