I’ve noticed a bit of a buzz on the topic of podcast transcription lately
1) Michael Arrington at Techcrunch wrote again about this here. I’ll be trying to offer my services, direct, to ‘castingWords myself since their Mechanical Turk offering seems a bit low for even me (around 25c/minute), though it could fill up downtimes.
2) Pinoy Tech Blog also has a write up here. We certainly can do this service, though maybe not full-time since you really should be doing professional transcription for medical and legal services if you want the big bucks.
3) Enablr seems to be down. Me and Ken King have thrown some emails at each other, but nothing final as of yet. They have a service called transcribr that will handle this and we’d like to take up his offer as his offshore labor. Hope he can drop us a line since both his websites seem to be down.
4) Contacted John Furrier at PodTech.net. Hope he responds soon!
5) Still need a Paypal account. We can’t seem to get their service in the Philippines. Help!
I did another sample transcription here. It’s the update speech of Steve Jobs introducing the new iTunes 5 and the Motorola ROKR.

Hey, AJ from Enablr here. Our site is definitely up, at the time you posted this we may have been working on it. We’ve been getting some good initial response and will be making a bit of a push to get the name out there more (thanks for the mention.)
