I would like to get various youtube channels transcribed so I can access the content without the tedium of slowly listening to the words one by one. So it occurred to me that I could get them transcribed for a reasonably price using Amazon's mechanical turk. Alternatives: * Youtube does give a transcript but it is very rough * With html5 you can speed up the youtube videos but this does not work on my tablet (Android) Has anyone used mechanical turk? Do they have any suggestions of hints? Alternatives? Specific issues: How do I ensure quality work? I am happy to pay for this but not for shoddy work. My task would be something like: Provide a transcript for X videos, cleaning up text into proper sentences and correct words.. You can can the youtube transcripts but they need to be fixed up.
