00:05:26 ◼   ► for 1300 13 hours of that quality and to line up all of you know acting talent [TS]

00:05:32 ◼   ► great creative talent to make it happen that it can't happen you can't do it you [TS]

00:05:37 ◼   ► know every year and a side effect of that is it sort of exudes quality that [TS]

00:05:43 ◼   ► that subconsciously that idea that this thing isn't like all the other shows [TS]

00:05:53 ◼   ► immigrants to finish this shot so let me just say this year I've been thinking [TS]

00:05:58 ◼   ► about this for years many years all the way back to the first runs of the talk [TS]

00:06:02 ◼   ► show with with Dan what's the biggest problem with podcasts in general I have [TS]

00:06:09 ◼   ► one specific group and it applies to almost every podcast I'm aware and it's [TS]

00:06:15 ◼   ► the lack of transcripts [TS]

00:06:19 ◼   ► couple of reasons one for me selfishly wouldn't it be great to just have a [TS]

00:06:23 ◼   ► searchable archive of of all this shows that I've done so that I find no in the [TS]

00:06:28 ◼   ► back of my head Jesus I had remembered it was on the show couple months ago we [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► were talking about you know whatever topic what the hell did we say yeah [TS]

00:06:36 ◼   ► whereas you know there's there's no way to get that you know if I open up a six [TS]

00:06:42 ◼   ► month old episode of the talk show even if I know that this is the episode I [TS]

00:06:46 ◼   ► can't you know how do I don't remember it was at the forty five-minute mark of [TS]

00:06:50 ◼   ► the 20 minute mark of the hour and 20 minute mark when whatever came up [TS]

00:06:55 ◼   ► transcripts with all that and then the other big thing would be huda Google [TS]

00:07:00 ◼   ► searchable by everybody else not just me and thirdly it has to be liked by [TS]

00:07:07 ◼   ► definition it's a huge accessibility issues right anybody who has a hearing [TS]

00:07:11 ◼   ► impairment cannot enjoy the show [TS]

00:07:14 ◼   ► that's true but it seems like there are you know every time I think of it and [TS]

00:07:21 ◼   ► they gather to get the itch to look into it there doesn't seem to be any kind of [TS]

00:07:26 ◼   ► like turnkey solution yeah it seems like the kind of thing where you could say [TS]

00:07:35 ◼   ► naively that you should be able to just point dragon dictator something at it [TS]

00:07:39 ◼   ► and let you know it's not the case any other big problem with that wouldn't [TS]

00:07:45 ◼   ► wouldn't even if that worked [TS]

00:07:47 ◼   ► accurately enough to be good enough how a Dragon Dictate be able to tell our [TS]

00:07:52 ◼   ► voices apart you know know which was mean which was you yeah yeah that's a [TS]

00:07:56 ◼   ► challenge and I you know some people have tackled this I think Rene Ritchie [TS]

00:08:00 ◼   ► among his many other projects has tackled transcripts and I think he may [TS]

00:08:07 ◼   ► just be tuning it all himself I'm not sure but seems like I've also heard some [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► other people though enlist you know super fans to do [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► transcripts on behalf of the show a weird to me when it's like a commercial [TS]

00:08:22 ◼   ► enterprise enlisting [TS]

00:08:24 ◼   ► donated labor but you know that's something I agree with you it would be [TS]

00:08:30 ◼   ► and and there's a sense it's in some ways it's positive but in many ways at [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► stake if there's a sense that all this stuff that happens on podcast teen is [TS]

00:08:40 ◼   ► kind of ephemeral like radio even though it's permanently recorded just as just [TS]

00:08:48 ◼   ► as well as blog posts or articles are you would it wouldn't be that way as as [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► much or even maybe at all if there were an accurate trans trans yeah it's not [TS]

00:08:59 ◼   ► you know it's it's like more ephemeral and maybe every single word is of less [TS]

00:09:04 ◼   ► value you know that if if we like I just right there three seconds ago said you [TS]

00:09:09 ◼   ► know I know is verbal tic I have obviously 98% of the times I say you [TS]

00:09:14 ◼   ► know on the show [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► shouldn't could be edited out it would be if it were written article instead of [TS]

00:09:20 ◼   ► off the cuff talks yet but there's always do you know every show and it's [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► worth listening to i mean the whole point of what makes it worth listening [TS]

00:09:32 ◼   ► to is just got to be something worth remembering about it right [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► yeah absolutely so I here's the thing I was thinking about it and I know some [TS]

00:09:40 ◼   ► people have done some things I know Andy Baio had a project where the handle it [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► was four but a couple years ago had a whole bunch of audio that he wanted [TS]

00:09:49 ◼   ► transcribed and he just threw it at Amazon's Mechanical Turk but that [TS]

00:09:54 ◼   ► wouldn't and it was really relatively cost-effective was relatively [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► inexpensive to get the people who do participate in that you know to do it [TS]

00:10:05 ◼   ► but I don't think it would work for the show because I think you'd need somebody [TS]

00:10:09 ◼   ► it couldn't just be anybody like any any person anywhere in the world who happens [TS]

00:10:15 ◼   ► to speak English you know speak English well enough to transcribe it like you to [TS]

00:10:19 ◼   ► do it right you day you need to know the guests on the show cause I feel like if [TS]

00:10:25 ◼   ► somebody in a foreign country who i think is a lot of the people who do the [TS]

00:10:29 ◼   ► turf work as a very good possibility that everybody almost everybody I [TS]

00:10:34 ◼   ► haven't shown they all sound alike to them right [TS]

00:10:38 ◼   ► others yeah right and that would really screw up I don't hear it but like when I [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► did the show with Dan every week at least to get comments every single week [TS]

00:10:48 ◼   ► from people who said they cannot tell us apart [TS]

00:10:50 ◼   ► yeah I always felt bad about it but it's like you know just made the show [TS]

00:10:53 ◼   ► confusing try so hard to impersonate you it's really kind of weird and I feel [TS]

00:11:00 ◼   ► like it would also help to know i mean that we talked super tech stuff but I [TS]

00:11:05 ◼   ► mean you know it would help if you you know we start talking about some of [TS]

00:11:08 ◼   ► these things you know that you know some of the words we use our goofy jargon [TS]

00:11:13 ◼   ► jargon and acronyms and then like other little things like little they become [TS]

00:11:18 ◼   ► like lovable like typecasting tix Berlin man with light turns out or something [TS]

00:11:25 ◼   ► yeah yeah this is kind of saying turns out that the kind of thing that would [TS]

00:11:32 ◼   ► look like a transcript in error so I'm wondering now if maybe it's just as [TS]

00:11:37 ◼   ► simple as sort of a combination of your they have a superfan do it and combine [TS]

00:11:44 ◼   ► that with well the show actually has good and real sponsors now and a [TS]

00:11:49 ◼   ► reasonable no revenue stream pay them you know like I don't know you know for [TS]

00:11:57 ◼   ► a very reasonable hourly rate you know maybe somebody out there who listens to [TS]

00:12:00 ◼   ► the show and [TS]

00:12:01 ◼   ► is a very fast typist and maybe would actually even enjoy doing and maybe I [TS]

00:12:06 ◼   ► could hire them and then they would do [TS]

00:12:08 ◼   ► transcripts every week I would I would insist upon paying for it though because [TS]

00:12:12 ◼   ► I feel like it's got to be in a quality product that just makes everybody take [TS]

00:12:18 ◼   ► it more seriously now the question to throw out there is always have this [TS]

00:12:23 ◼   ► thought when it comes to the idea of a political association which again is [TS]

00:12:28 ◼   ► also often like volunteer driven and ironically enough in seem too often be [TS]

00:12:32 ◼   ► completely accepted by commercial software developers that they would be [TS]

00:12:38 ◼   ► donated in that sense I might be guilty of that too but I always start with that [TS]

00:12:43 ◼   ► something like that if I ever formalizes like to be a really ambitious [TS]

00:12:47 ◼   ► localisation I would want to have two people for each language as a sort of [TS]

00:12:53 ◼   ► like self correction no wonder if you would want that with transcriptions or [TS]

00:12:57 ◼   ► if that sort of like takes away that that pride and like you know the [TS]

00:13:01 ◼   ► respected that one person would have to be like the official archivist yeah I [TS]

00:13:07 ◼   ► think it's sort of a different problem because with with with the localisation [TS]

00:13:11 ◼   ► you're you're running into those from any language a converting to language be [TS]

00:13:20 ◼   ► there is ten thousand different you know things that don't translate directly you [TS]

00:13:27 ◼   ► know if figures of speech in English that just don't have any direct [TS]

00:13:33 ◼   ► equivalent in whatever language or you're going to and then picking the new [TS]

00:13:37 ◼   ► ones of you know like there's nothing like midway between casual and formal to [TS]

00:13:44 ◼   ► translate it so do you pick the one that's a little bit more formal or the [TS]

00:13:48 ◼   ► one that's a little bit more casual which finished with the brand and that's [TS]

00:13:51 ◼   ► the sort of thing where if you don't speak that language it's so hard to [TS]

00:13:54 ◼   ► judge right leg if you commissioned the Spanish localisation of Mars edit [TS]

00:13:58 ◼   ► I don't know I mean it's like I speak just a tiny little symbol for the [TS]

00:14:04 ◼   ► Spanish I couldn't judge whether the button to publish was using to formal to [TS]

00:14:10 ◼   ► casual tone I wouldn't but that's that's where I would see having two eyes look [TS]

00:14:16 ◼   ► at it would really be helpful in my cat some of those things where as a podcast [TS]

00:14:21 ◼   ► for idiomatic English speakers and I don't I don't know what would you have [TS]

00:14:27 ◼   ► the second person do you just read the transcript while they listen to the show [TS]

00:14:31 ◼   ► was thinking along the same lines of like each of them does it independently [TS]

00:14:35 ◼   ► and then compare for differences but i think thats overthinking it that's crazy [TS]

00:14:40 ◼   ► but I think it's a good idea I think in the EU you have an audience where I [TS]

00:14:45 ◼   ► imagine at least you know ten to twenty people right now are probably at least [TS]

00:14:51 ◼   ► considering the possibility that they are the person to do that I wonder if I [TS]

00:14:55 ◼   ► wonder if just talking about this will turn up any offers which are really [TS]

00:15:02 ◼   ► crazy of just talking about something like motivated people to do something I [TS]

00:15:07 ◼   ► thought of i mean this is but I don't know where I would put the transcripts I [TS]

00:15:14 ◼   ► guess I could ask my friend you all to maybe add something to the custom CMS [TS]

00:15:18 ◼   ► over there will there be like a transcript field or something like that [TS]

00:15:21 ◼   ► or you know it seems like they'd be up to doing that but without you know [TS]

00:15:27 ◼   ► assuming that they would in the worst case you could always just have like a [TS]

00:15:32 ◼   ► site dedicated to it something that comes to mind is it's really great if [TS]

00:15:36 ◼   ► you ever want to search anything about WWDC is called a ski WWDC ASCII like the [TS]

00:15:45 ◼   ► WBC dot com and it's something I think Matt with 3 t's Thompson I think he put [TS]

00:15:55 ◼   ► it together and it's brilliant I mean give it a look if you can right now [TS]

00:15:59 ◼   ► because you just get to surge any word and because this makes it this makes [TS]

00:16:05 ◼   ► sense because WWDC sessions are transcribed for accessibility purposes I [TS]

00:16:12 ◼   ► think yes they took advantage of the presence of this transcription material [TS]

00:16:17 ◼   ► on the videos themselves I think and so you can search anything it's only I [TS]

00:16:24 ◼   ► think maybe 2013 sessions but pretty great and you can you can look up you [TS]

00:16:30 ◼   ► know if you have this hunch that you heard something that session you just [TS]

00:16:34 ◼   ► type in the word maybe sometimes you have to because it's I think it is sort [TS]

00:16:37 ◼   ► of automated or you know transcribed by people who aren't perfect and you have [TS]

00:16:43 ◼   ► to you know I just the stem of the word or something but pretty great so you can [TS]

00:16:51 ◼   ► imagine Dec 2012 20 scroll down right help out with transcription so they're [TS]

00:17:01 ◼   ► like it looks like maybe 4 2012 there were transcribed maybe 2013 yeah Apple [TS]

00:17:08 ◼   ► did a great job transcribing the sessions for this past Abid Abid easy [TS]

00:17:11 ◼   ► but there's tons of content in the previous year so Apple did it for 2013 [TS]

00:17:16 ◼   ► and I guess these guys were able to scrape it yeah that's right I'm just [TS]

00:17:21 ◼   ► grateful that this thing hasn't been shut down yet maybe we should shut down [TS]

00:17:25 ◼   ► ever but this is probably the kind of thing where everybody who likes it [TS]

00:17:29 ◼   ► should instantly grabbed [TS]

00:17:31 ◼   ► curled dumping of the whole thing but this is the kind of thing you know you [TS]

00:17:35 ◼   ► could imagine maybe not even limited to how cool would it be if if you could go [TS]

00:17:42 ◼   ► to ASCII podcasts dot com something and then among the podcasts there is the [TS]

00:17:49 ◼   ► talk show and you know this is bringing about I think there was some company [TS]

00:17:54 ◼   ► that this years ago I remember in like the original podcasting boom remembers [TS]

00:18:01 ◼   ► something that I had as I had like a search feed [TS]

00:18:05 ◼   ► on my own name in products on this service that was trying to transcribe I [TS]

00:18:11 ◼   ► think a bunch of the Leos which shows and stuff like that but there's some [TS]

00:18:18 ◼   ► there's some like state of the art out there and I don't know what it is [TS]

00:18:22 ◼   ► yeah and two is that it occurs to me that I'm you know I've been doing it [TS]

00:18:28 ◼   ► long enough that I'm a little blinded historically because it used to be I [TS]

00:18:34 ◼   ► mean in this was for the first couple of years there I was regularly podcasting [TS]

00:18:37 ◼   ► it was there just wasn't a lot of sponsorship interest was really hard to [TS]

00:18:41 ◼   ► get sponsors and and it didn't bring in much money and so I you know when we [TS]

00:18:48 ◼   ► were thinking about how can we get transcripts before what we were thinking [TS]

00:18:51 ◼   ► we could possibly afford to pay was a very different percentage of the overall [TS]

00:18:56 ◼   ► income it was more or less at the time of Jesus gonna take every you know we [TS]

00:19:00 ◼   ► have to you know just take the sponsor money and then handed over to the [TS]

00:19:04 ◼   ► transcription service and may be nothing left over whereas that's not the case [TS]

00:19:08 ◼   ► anymore [TS]

00:19:08 ◼   ► yeah that's a lot of money to to put into just quote unquote just having a [TS]

00:19:14 ◼   ► transcript you know I'm just randomly cruising around here on the web and I [TS]

00:19:18 ◼   ► found this site podcast search service dot com and kinda looks like it could be [TS]

00:19:27 ◼   ► trying to do this and I don't know if it's worth even mention having mentioned [TS]

00:19:33 ◼   ► them on the arrow or not but [TS]

00:19:36 ◼   ► it's the angle it's the same kind of angle looks like looks like a website [TS]

00:19:41 ◼   ► from 1994 which means it might just work thing is certain to speak at our [TS]

00:19:50 ◼   ► sponsors while I take a break here and thank our first sponsor of the show and [TS]

00:19:57 ◼   ► it's our friends at Drobo you guys know you know that file transporter people [TS]

00:20:03 ◼   ► are back [TS]

00:20:03 ◼   ► Drobo all one big happy family and they have sponsored to show a few times here [TS]

00:20:11 ◼   ► to talk about file transporter but today I want to talk to you about Drobo which [TS]

00:20:14 ◼   ► is the service that they started with seven robo I never did a really cool [TS]

00:20:20 ◼   ► basic idea with the Drobo is it's like a hard drive you plug in your Mac thing [TS]

00:20:25 ◼   ► for your Mac you plug in your magazine your Mac sees it from your Mac's [TS]

00:20:28 ◼   ► perspective just sees it as a hard drive but what it really is is a device that [TS]

00:20:31 ◼   ► has like five slots and you can take actual drives in and out of it you [TS]

01:02:08 ◼   ► you and a friend of both put in jail [TS]

01:02:11 ◼   ► separate cells and the jailer comes to you and they want you both confessed to [TS]

01:02:21 ◼   ► you both maintained her innocence then you'll both get out without doing a day [TS]

01:02:24 ◼   ► in jail time because they don't have a confession you can say it was all the [TS]

01:02:29 ◼   ► other guys and he'll do all the jail time he'll do you know ten years in jail [TS]

01:02:34 ◼   ► time and you get to walk away or what did I guess it would be like you would [TS]

01:02:42 ◼   ► do like a year in jail and he did ten years remember the details [TS]

01:02:48 ◼   ► well but only recently it's in your interest in theory to stick together and [TS]

01:02:53 ◼   ► do the right thing and maintained her innocence and you both walk out but that [TS]

01:02:56 ◼   ► there's a big motivation to wrap the other guy out because then you won't be [TS]

01:03:01 ◼   ► getting the worst of it and you can't trust him not to do the worst or it's [TS]

01:03:06 ◼   ► it's like if you both if you both around each other out then you do you do some [TS]

01:03:11 ◼   ► time right but if you read him out and he says he he says you're both innocent [TS]

01:03:16 ◼   ► than he does all the time and so it's in your interest to do it and just hope [TS]

01:03:20 ◼   ► that he did the right thing and let you go right [TS]

01:03:24 ◼   ► and there is a prisoner's dilemma angle to this where it's like if the other [TS]

01:03:27 ◼   ► developers are doing it and you're not there getting more reviews and if it [TS]

01:03:32 ◼   ► does seem to work and the reviews of their laughter mostly positive in your [TS]

01:03:36 ◼   ► app is getting a disproportionate share of positive reviews because you're not [TS]

01:03:43 ◼   ► asking your competitors are and therefore their app is better review [TS]

01:03:48 ◼   ► than yours only not because it is better but only because they're asked and [TS]

01:03:51 ◼   ► therefore it's in your answers to go along and that sort of why I feel like [TS]

01:03:57 ◼   ► Apple would be the one who could solve it best by saying you're not allowed to [TS]

01:04:01 ◼   ► do this because it also lead to the slippery slope and has a research this [TS]

01:04:05 ◼   ► there's a lot of apps that are doing other things are not just saying hey if [TS]

01:04:09 ◼   ► you like it leave it at or leave a review [TS]

01:04:12 ◼   ► there's other apps entered like going taking measures to try to only get [TS]

01:04:17 ◼   ► positive reviews [TS]

01:04:18 ◼   ► instead of saying rate the app they're doing things like saying do you like the [TS]

01:04:28 ◼   ► review and if you say no I don't then they don't ask you to leave review they [TS]

01:04:33 ◼   ► dealt point you somewhere else like pointing to help page or something right [TS]

01:04:37 ◼   ► which somehow feels disingenuous and slimy when its automated like that but [TS]

01:04:42 ◼   ► for example it doesn't feel so bad if I as a software business owner like [TS]

01:04:49 ◼   ► selectively choose to mention hey maybe you could leave me review in like an [TS]

01:04:55 ◼   ► email correspondence right and that's totally ok you know we do we do that [TS]

01:04:59 ◼   ► with VAT separately will you know at the bottom of Ike's answer support emails [TS]

01:05:03 ◼   ► will just put in a little like hey if you like the app it would be really it [TS]

01:05:09 ◼   ► would be great for us if you took the time to leave a review [TS]

01:05:12 ◼   ► yeah something like that part of that is your door squeezing that in as like a [TS]

01:05:18 ◼   ► side note in communication that is getting back to the point otherwise for [TS]

01:05:23 ◼   ► the customers benefit exactly answering a question you know providing them with [TS]

01:05:29 ◼   ► a workaround [TS]

01:05:39 ◼   ► to fix it we've filed bugs with them you know soon or something else that's a [TS]

01:05:45 ◼   ► cool feature requests will think about it you know or you know that's a cool [TS]

01:05:53 ◼   ► something like that some sort of positive interaction and another thing [TS]

01:05:59 ◼   ► I've seen and I think it's great i think it's totally cool are some people it's [TS]

01:06:03 ◼   ► nowhere near as prevalent practice as these alerts [TS]

01:06:07 ◼   ► these alerts have become like a disease but likes i've seen there's i've seen [TS]

01:06:10 ◼   ► screenshots of some apps were like on the Settings page under Settings panel [TS]

01:06:15 ◼   ► there will be like a link like to two buttons like one tap here to get support [TS]

01:06:21 ◼   ► if you have a issue and then underneath that if you like the app to have here to [TS]

01:06:26 ◼   ► rate it in the App Store these ratings really help us with our rankings think [TS]

01:06:30 ◼   ► that's ideal because it's an it's it in a place that does not slow down the user [TS]

01:06:37 ◼   ► and right it's not just that it's just as crazy to me that there are some [TS]

01:06:43 ◼   ► people who don't see how an alert is is going right to CodeRed [TS]

01:06:48 ◼   ► you should never shown unless you have to like I think ideally the ideal work [TS]

01:06:53 ◼   ► flow through any app involved in no alerts you really have to when there's [TS]

01:07:01 ◼   ► no other solution we've gotta make sure because they're trying to delete this [TS]

01:07:05 ◼   ► thing and if they do it there's no way to undo it got it shown alert to double [TS]

01:07:10 ◼   ► check that they really wanted to because it would be catastrophic if they deleted [TS]

01:07:14 ◼   ► it by acts right so I I think like more forgivable example is like sparkle Mac [TS]

01:07:22 ◼   ► apps where it does show an alert but it is clearly usually clearly for the [TS]

01:07:28 ◼   ► customers benefit to get an updated version and importantly in almost every [TS]

01:07:34 ◼   ► app on the Mac that uses a charcoal there is a preference in the apt to [TS]

01:07:38 ◼   ► completely disable the alerts [TS]

01:07:42 ◼   ► so it's a totally different mindset and again it's an important thing again it's [TS]

01:07:48 ◼   ► in the user's interests usually to be running the latest version of the app [TS]

01:07:52 ◼   ► but it's not in the user's interest in general to update automatically without [TS]

01:07:57 ◼   ► their yeah okay right so you and and benefit the right thing to do is to do [TS]

01:08:05 ◼   ► it sparkle does is to say okay there's an app store there is an updated version [TS]

01:08:09 ◼   ► you know whatever number you are running this number [TS]

01:08:14 ◼   ► you know you can do this later or you can do this now so I think that there is [TS]

01:08:19 ◼   ► a possible like another possible acceptable communications stream between [TS]

01:08:26 ◼   ► developers and users which is some kind of like passive news stream where it's [TS]

01:08:32 ◼   ► kinda like the about box idea it's still begging the user's attention I seen this [TS]

01:08:37 ◼   ► in some games like the general news but then they also have a hmong those news [TS]

01:08:43 ◼   ► items you know been using this for a while if you like it rate it [TS]

01:08:47 ◼   ► yeah and that kind of stuff usually entails like some kind of little subtle [TS]

01:08:52 ◼   ► signal like a little you know maybe a little red light or something on the [TS]

01:08:57 ◼   ► main screen lets you know there's messages or something like that let's [TS]

01:09:02 ◼   ► just say if something like that had become the defacto standard for how [TS]

01:09:06 ◼   ► people try to cajole people into reviewing I don't think we'd be having [TS]

01:09:11 ◼   ► this conversation it's not that's not problematic enough or maybe not [TS]

01:09:16 ◼   ► problematic at all but I think even with their alerts which i think is generally [TS]

01:09:23 ◼   ► heavy-handed for this but as long as if if this I R a project that everybody [TS]

01:09:27 ◼   ► seems to be so popular [TS]

01:09:29 ◼   ► if no thanks man never show this again ever just one time one time only and you [TS]
