Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Image Transcription: Reddit Comments
I'm a human volunteer content transcriber and you could be too!
is there a Transcribers of the Fediverse community starting or are you just doing this to set an example? I love both options, just wondering if I should join the group or jump on in to participate.
There's not one yet, but i got permission from the mods at r/TranscribersOfReddit to use their tenplates as long as we change the footer.
I would love to start a community on lemmy for transcriptions, i'm just on a smaller instance.
I just did a quick check of communities and no one has made one yet (so I made one). I posted on [email protected] to see if we should move it there and created a community on https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/transcribersoflemmy
good bot
Didn't think i'd miss those dumb bots, but i kinda do
Shakespearean bot always came through at the worst possible times to make me laugh, like it would almost intentionally pick posts that were heated and finally cooled off only for it to come in for the punchline.
the unit conversion bot was a nice QoL feature on the technical subs I tended to hang out on.
Shitty Unit Conversion Bot was good for a laugh too.
Thanks for this
You are awesome!
Thank you!
Now this should be a bot.
Yet another comment capitalist trying to take people's jobs away! Think of the children, sir!
Not sure how you do this, but one way to speedup things is for example using something like iOS' scan text from image feature. Of course, it needs some additional formatting but at least you don't have to type all of the text.
I'll have to look into something similar, currently I'm transcribing on Windows.
Edit: Also, it forces me to pick a language to respond to you. Is that normal?
I'm not sure how the language setting works when replying but afaik just leave it on english and everything should be fine. I'm sure there are tools for windows to automagically detect text in photos, maybe even Google has something to offer.
Thanks for doing this -- do you mind if I copy/paste into the post body for posterity?
Of course! Whatever we can do to make lemmy more accessible.
