Since I have a part-time job transcribing the Sunday talk shows, I am delighted that Jackson has not appeared on those shows since he was disgraced last year, because he is so inarticulate and mush-mouthed that he is impossible to transcribe.I can imagine - I transcribe for a few mushmouthed doctors (and some absolutely wonderful ones who make voice recognition look like a threat). So how do you get a part-time job doing that type of work (for the Sunday shows)? Do you do it for transcripts or for closed captioning (in other words, do you have a tape for start/stop or is it all live)?
The outfit I work for in the D.C. area has contracts with the networks. They use transcribing machines, with tapes and stop/start pedals.
