Unfortunately we don't necessarily have a script in a publishable form or indeed, for live programmes, have a script at all. Part of our work here is to reduce the amount of work production teams need to do to support interactive products and sites - so they can concentrate on the radio programmes. Though hopefully Find Listen Label will also create a summary that you just wouldn't get from a script.
Another approach would be to get all our programmes transcribed. So Find Listen Label would be just one tool in our toolbox of ways of generating metadata and additioanl navigation. And absolutely, I love the work Luis Von Ahn has done on games and metadata. There are a couple of interesting similar games in the music area as well, check out: Major Miner - http://game.majorminer.com/ The Listen Game - http://www.listengame.org/ And keep an eye out for some of our future work.

It's a tool for BBC Radio listeners to segment and annotate radio programmes on the web - wiki style - creating better navigation within the programme by providing segments or chapters and enhancing the findability of the programme by annotating it with descriptions and tags about the content. We've launched this prototype with Radio 4's "All In The Mind" as a partner programme and it will be up for around 4 weeks before we evaluate how well it has worked. Have a play... http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/findlistenlabel/?programme=allinthem ind20070403 It will start to become really powerful when/if we launch it across many of our programmes and start to use the generated data in other products and sites, and we have plans to open the data up to backstage. You can read more about the prototype on our blogs; http://cookinrelaxin.blogspot.com/2007/04/find-listen-label-aka-annotata ble-audio.html and http://fridayforward.com/2007/04/find-listen-label.html Tristan (and the Audio & Music R&D team) ----------------------------- Tristan Ferne Senior Development Producer, R&D BBC Audio & Music Interactive - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
