Transcription site updates
The transcription site is: http://transcribe.realfaceofwhiteaustralia.net/.
If you’re having your own personal transcribe-a-thon let us know on Twitter and Facebook using the hashtag #uc10154.
Some things to note:
- Open to everyone, everywhere. No login or registration required, just follow the instructions and start transcribing.
- The site is designed for laptop/desktop machines. While some of the tasks, such as transcription and verification, can be done on a mobile device, the lack of screen space makes it rather tricky.
- See here for an overview of the transcription process.
