Everybody's all about podcasting now and some of us can't hear words! It's bad enough to miss all the TED talks and StarShipSofa, but this is just the last straw.

Searchable text would make these programs more robust as resources. Anyone here know where to sign up? I, for one, would be happy to join a podcast-transcribing network, a la Project Gutenberg.

In addition to the accessibility benefits, there are huge SEO benefits. Unfortunately, it's pretty expensive to do so. I've recently started offering transcripts of one of my shows, and it costs me about a hundred dollars a week, and that's with the transcriptionist giving me a price break. For most smaller podcasters (Roman, for example, is a one-man shop), that's just not financially sustainable. I would love to see a Guttenberg-like open platform for transcription. I know I have a lot of listeners who would like to help with transcription, but the administration of the volunteers would be just as expensive as transcription would be. @Anon – I think a lot of podcast producers would love to provide transcripts of their shows.

Google him and find his stuff. Totally worth it.
