What a great cause! Best of luck to you guys

I've had to transcribe video footage for some of my courses before, and it took forever x.x

I can definitely help, but you should suggest a format for how people can or should transcribe things?
You should also suggest where people should start, etc.

I can do the Day [9] Dailies starting Wednesday I believe, just let me know where you want me to start and I'll see if I can get them going.

Pretty sure the translation team on TL has a good method perhaps :B

This will be a huge project. Props and much respect to anyone who volunteers and has time for this. Good luck!

Absolutely fantastic initiative. Just today I was talking to a deaf SC2 player who cannot enjoy sotg. I will spread the word about this.

My schedule for the next month is going to be really hectic, so I can't really say for sure that I can do anything YET about current events, but I would gladly do some of the archived Day[9] dailies or something of that sort!

The humor of this community has always been there whenever I've needed it, I never really thought about people that have been unable to enjoy such a thing. Closed captioning would be a huge thing to look into for these videos, as to not take away from the moment in the game or what have you, but this is a great start.

I'm not sure when my free time is anymore, but when I do have time I'll just start working on the archived dailies starting at the first Starcraft II daily, then come back to the Brood War dailies once we've caught up, if that's alright with you!

Can you set up a poll or something? Somehow the hundreds of hours of work doesn't seem so efficient if there's only like 10-20 people benefiting from it. It might be just as worth it to clean up the "simple questions simple answers" sections to make it easily readable to to stop repeat questions.

It was originally for transcripted for translation purposes, but here is Day[9] Daily #100 subtitled:
Day[9] Daily #100 "My Life of Starcraft" Subtitled

Maybe the people who did this transcript can help with advices?

That seems really smart. It would be a lot easier to do a poll to see what content they're most interested in having done instead of just starting somewhere random.

I think that as a grassroots movement you would need to focus on particular series or series of games. For example: Code S finals. If you had one person for each vod section from gomtv then gave them 2 or 3 days to transcribe it you could have these important games captioned.

GOM is also really open to taking on community work. Im sure if you were to transcribe an entire code S finals that gom would post it to their website for the hearing impaired.

Also, especially insightful day 9 dailies (newbie tuesdays, steal this build order etc etc) would also be most beneficial to hearing impaired players. Day 9 would also likely post the subbed video to his youtube (he seems like a nice enough person to consolidate it within his existing channel)

I think this is a fantastic idea but I'm not sure people understand the amount of time this requires. People volunteering should be aware that on average, it can take as much as 8 times as long to transcribe something. That means, a 1 hour SotG can take 8 hours to fully transcribe. I know this because I work in Radio and that's one of the largest time sinks. When you consider that a single GSL day can take several hours, you're talking about an enormous amount of work.

Ex. 3 hour GSL cast could take 24 hours. Obviously the more experienced you are, the faster it goes, but it still takes a long time.

Again, this is a great project but going in it, I do want people to be aware that the idea is simple but a timely execution may prove very challenging.
