A really old one. 0.8.2, I'm still on 6.06 LTS. (I haven't found the

Hi Philip,
That's great, thanks for making a start - good work.
I've also made a start on the first 10 minutes of episode 2. I've made
a focus on readability also, and ignore

IIRC, people talk at a rate in the order of 300-350 words a minute.

Hi,
I transcribed most of the Ubuntu Screencasts subtitles and as a guide it
took me around 4-5 hours for a 30 min video. Granted, I'm not a fast

afterwards, so I'm sure this project will be much quicker.
It definitely helps if y

I did wonder about this too - I would definitely be able to pitch in if

Hi All
I haven't responded to any of these before but I'd be happy to get involved
with the transcribing. Not being a coder I'd still love to do my bit for the
community and this sounds like a great way to go about it.

Sure, that affects us all, so it would be great if we could have a
"team" of people who did it, and organised it amongst themselves. From

I didn't give it that much thought. I figured that the most time

Hi,
Would any of you be willing to put a bit of time into transcribing the
Ubuntu UK Podcast into plain text format?
It doesn't need to be one person doing every episode, but each person
could pick one ep, and do that, and then do another when they have time.
Any volunteers, questions?
