How to Get Traction for Your Projects
- adambenayoun 14y ago@jared - glad to see another good podcast. I would love to see a transcript of the podcast as I'm not always able to hear podcasts.
- jaredbrown 14y agoThanks Adam. I started looking into transcription services. The issue is cost and audio quality so far. The going rate appears to be $1/min. So the avg Talentopoly episode would weigh in at $80. Plus a lot of the text would most likely be wrong due to the poor quality of Skype. But I'll keep searching. If you know of any good services that are free or inexpensive let me know.
- adambenayoun 14y agoDoing a summary would be obviously much better than than nothing but a full transcript would be great.
- adambenayoun 14y agoHow about getting the community to help? I could ask around - or you could set up a fund to pay for the transcript costs - I'll probably commit $20-30 to it.
- jaredbrown 14y agoI like the community idea. So do you mean just doing a summary at that point? Or do you want an entire transcript?
- bravura 14y agoOn Odesk, people are offering $5-10 per hour of audio: https://www.odesk.com/o/jobs/browse/c/administrative-support/sc/transcription/ It might be worth trying.
- nmcfarl 14y agoAs someone who runs a crowdsourced transcription company I can tell you it's not worth it. If it was we'd be hiring them, and the going rate would be $7/hour not $60. You'd get better quality with machine transcription - and that's really not saying much.
- jaredbrown 14y agoI'm confused. Is your crowd-sourced transcription service free? Or are you charging a nominal fee and having the crowd do it for free? What are some good machine translation sites?
- jaredbrown 14y agoThat's interesting. Though I wonder what the quality of the output is. They are no doubt foreigners at that price and will have the language barrier and Skype call quality to contend with.
- ZoFreX 14y agoI'll do it for $0.50 a minute ;)
- jaredbrown 14y agoHilarious
- SebMortelmans 14y agoAwesome site also, bundling high quality posts and articles in this tech/startup/design industry is really valuable to me
- jaredbrown 14y agoSweet. Glad you like the site. We send out a weekly email that has 20 of the top posts on the site. A lot of developers are starting to swear by that newsletter. ;)
- Jackel 14y agocool site.... kind of like http://www.socialjobsboard.com http://www.socialjobsboard.com
- kennyt 14y agoIn your synopsis it says "Emalium" instead of "Emailium", just a heads up
- jaredbrown 14y agoThanks for the tip. I just fixed it.
