<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;">I apologize, I should have been more clear. We will be using humans to scan the translated results. But we are looking for a system to perform the "first pass" on the audio to hopefully help the human type less.<br><br>Although the question has been raised if it's faster to have a human just transcribe the whole thing, or fix up what the computer spit out. If you have any insights on this, that would be great.<br><br>-pete<br><br>

The only way to do this is, I'm afraid, to use a human. We use Amazon's<br>
Mechanical Turk to good effect.<br>
