some factoids: geographic region isn't a blocker, it can be done remotely. "(although she can do transcription remotely as well)." - http://composition.al/blog/2014/05/31/your-next-conference-should-have-real-time-captioning/ PyCon 2013 used a cell phone jacked into the sound board, text came back in a web browser. I have no idea what protocol or anything more about this.) (I hear voip is used too.) (I hear the latency of the video stream creates a problem for someone trying to follow along at the event, but this very hearsay.) Transcripts can be read later, like watching the recorded video. Transcripts can be searched later, un-like video. Transcripts can be translated later. The transcript can be used to subtitle the recorded videos. (it takes a little work to A) organize the project and B) sync the text to the video (((the transcript timestamps lag by an inconsistent amount.)))))) Mirabai Knight is awesome. "Plover, a free, cross-platform steno engine that works with $45 hardware, offers hackers and hobbyists the ability to type at up to 240 WPM in applications ranging from wearable computing to captioning to coding." - http://pyvideo.org/speaker/286/mirabai-knight github or it didn't happen: https://github.com/openstenoproject/plover/ Here are some of her blog posts I enjoyed: http://plover.stenoknight.com/2010/03/how-to-speak-with-your-fingers.html http://plover.stenoknight.com/2014/03/guest-post-charless-diy-steno-keyboard.html > > -- > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Patty Langasek > [email protected] > > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > At times, you may end up far away from home; you may not be > sure of where you belong, anymore.
