Lightspeed Transcripts
[via LugRadio/wiki]
LugRadio Team has opened a Wiki a few weeks ago. Its main goal is to be... er... well... it has goals.
Some of the greatest contributions are the Episode Transcripts. One called Tonytiger transcripted some of the latest episodes in less than two days! Wow! And they're very accurate, as far as I could check.
Transcripts were very useful for me, as I started listening to LugRadio. Jono used to host a wiki with bits of the first episodes (well, this wiki's dead, now, too bad). And by listening to the episodes while reading transcript helped me a lot to spot who was talking, and what they were talking about. It helped a lot to decypher accents, idiomatics, slang, technical terms, etc.
Even though LugRadio improved my English (a lot), I still need to listen to it several times to grok around 75% of each episode. With the transcripts, I'd get to 100%!
So, Kudos for Tonytiger, and all of those willing to help in the transcriptions.
By the way, I think I'll make an effort to contribute, too, to finish Mark Shuttleworth interview translation. I've been too lazy.
