This is a most useful tool, and I put up a blog post about it.

I do hope that the NYT does this for some of the upcoming debates.

I wonder how much work is involved in getting the transcription, speakers and timers.

I work on Moodle (the learning/course management system), and it would be great to be able for the lecturer to upload a video of a lecture, and have a wiki-style page where other can – if they want – transcribe fragments in a simple format. Would also be great for conference videos that are posted on the internet for a long time – the ones that people think are important would get stand a chance of getting transcribed. And with the right payoff — and this kind of browsing is a great payoff — people will be keen on doing it.

That helps give you a flavor of what was talked about, and shows you things you didn’t know you wanted to ask.

I love this stuff; it’s part of the infrastructure that’s essential for us to be able to bring our national debate to a more nuanced level.

thanks for the complimentary write-up. i’m stoked that you find the tool impressive, and even happier that you find it useful. that’s the goal. as far as it not working in firefox, we’re certainly hoping that’s not the case. try refreshing. sometimes i think the streaming server gets a little wonky, but a refresh should set u up right.

Pity it doesn’t work with Mozilla Firefox (no sound).
