I'm not paying for transcripts, unless someone wants to fund that effort. I don't think I was indexed in EveryZing that last time I looked, so perhaps they are just slowly expanding their coverage. Not sure. The machine transcription is always good for a laugh though. You’re right, Stephen. I’m not paying for transcripts, unless someone wants to fund that effort.

One service in California will do transcripts of your podcast with a 3-5 day turnaround. A thirty minute episode of LISTen would cost $40. A roughly sixty minute episode of UV would cost about $80. If you wanted such faster, the costs escalate. Mind you, that was one of the cheaper services located thus far. That is why LISTen does not offer transcripts if there is concurrently no funding to operate off of. Not only would Greg not have the time to transcribe UV, I doubt he would be willing to shell out $320 or so per month for episode transcripts. While this is something I have had requests for as well, I can only say that the biggest factor on my end is funding. Transcripts are not free and never really have been. LISTen is not accessible through EveryZing as far as I can tell. Then again, I would probably prefer human-generated transcripts over machine-generated since even Jott has trouble understanding me uttering basic commands. I'm sorry Greg. I just wanted to add some figures in from what my crew has been dealing with. We have had this as an open question for months as we have yet to resolve it.
