I can get YouTube autocaptions, asking up front how difficult it would be to generate a transcript for such programming as this? I know the New York Times somehow automates their transcripts for audio only programming and I read these. In other words, perfect isn’t necessary, accessible is more important.

I am Deaf and tend to prefer transcripts over watching heads with tiny autocaptions, if it helps explain why I’m asking. Thanks for all you do.

Thanks for this input, rebecca. I will think on this ahead of next week. I do receive an automated transcript of each show, but they are very rough, so I need to ponder what would be a good way to make them available to readers. But I would like to accommodate everyone so I will think on this ahead of next week's show. Maybe it could be as simple as sending the automated transcript to people like you who request them. I could send you this week's if you want it. Just pass along your email. You can reach me directly at atrupar@gmail.com.

Great discussion. It’s nice to see some light at the end of the tunnel sometimes. I have subscribed to Hopium Chronicles.
