[grc] Transcribing radio interviews

I recently used the website Temi to transcribe an old interview from 2015
that I did with Boots Riley.

https://www.temi.com

It was reasonably priced ($6 for about 47 minutes) and more accurate than I
anticipated... but it still took me quite a while to clean the whole thing
up for publication. It also has some nice features, like a word
highlighting function that follows along during playback. You can also edit
the text they provide while still logged in online. And its ability to
identify the names of other celebrities my guest mentioned was pretty
uncanny.

I'd certainly be interested in other services out there of this type.

Thanks,
Ted Coe
