Welcome

Welcome to SGU Transcripts. We aim to provide transcripts of the Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast. We're just getting started, please help!

My method of transcription is to use VLC media player, and dial down the speed until I can type comfortably. A quick alt-tab, then shift-left a couple of times will skip back a few seconds if you missed something. After a spell check, the transcript gets pasted into the wiki. Then add some headings, bullets, hyperlinks and times. That's it!

If you'd like to transcribe a podcast, sign up and then add a page for it and put in a note to say that you're working on it. That way we can hopefully avoid duplicating work. If you'd like to just try your hand at transcribing, start with an SGU 5x5 as these are much shorter.
