CastingWords
A few days ago I mentioned PodZinger, a system that will index podcasts and make the audio avaiable in a search engine. A related system is castingWords, that will provide podcasts transcriptions at 42 cents per minute of audio. So with castingWords I could get a half-hour weekly podcast transcribed for $12 per month. The interesting thing is that CastingWords uses the Amazon Turk to do the work, using humans instead of a speech recognizer to generate the transcription. There's a sample transcript at the amazon web services blog.
