Good really Cuz Morgan said he asked you Oh uh he did and and I approved but I think that I was uh proposed before I was asked And that doesn't matter cuz I think there was probably Oh a uh Yeah That would be m That an would indication that that I was interested in advance and in which case I thank you Right Yeah Uh right And OK so one of the first questions is do you need help Well hang on Oh not Well OK question Well I guess Do you So do you What are what are we talking about That gonna gonna do transcriptions going going listen to to provide going to be once given the data I will provide w transcripts with OK uh indication of speakers and um I guess speaker change in any case so speaker ID and words OK So gonna do the actual transcription yourself Yeah OK D I And do you have a clear I mean is that Do you sort of Are you going to have to make up what you do or do you have a very clear idea of what going to do So I mean is it is it Is this l Is it like something done before or transcribed a lot Yeah But um e you know the I And there are always ways of doing things more efficiently or more uh in a more technical technically sophisticated way Yeah Do you have to speak true English sentences when you do this Yeah because as people are going to be listening to it afterwards and saying Oh listen to her She She even can't speak speak English sentences terrible OK So um meant meant to speak naturally meant to say Oh I didn't realize we were being recorded Ah right Yeah No one told me that This microphone this Uh doing around my neck I I was saying before we don't just have to worry just about jewelry being surprised by it OK so um typically what I w you know I in uh i what done before is I have a uh tape recorder with a reverse button Yeah And you just you know if word level e you know you do a e a r I just hit the r Play re the rewind button every couple of words and Yeah type what I know and then Yeah and then at the end do a breeze through to be sure that correct However they do have software these days which with a digitized uh record you can have control over replay through Yeah some sort of an interface Um never used one of those I know it would be an a wonderful idea just I haven't transcribed in in awhile The I problem is Right The nice thing about transcribers is they have foot pedals Foot pedals used transcribing machines fine um But I frankly didn't find it any more Oh use to me than my taperecorder I see However if we have a transcribing machine I would accept it The other thing is you know having getting hold of a transcriber I think that CogSci has one Yeah And Well probably I borrow actually one one You have one yourself Well Sarah see has one because she does a lot of transcribing super interviews But The other thing is is that we The might crazy thing is have to Oh convert the s have to dump the audio files onto cassette to use I it see OK I mean given that already got them digitally it would be you know quite tempting to use some kind of uh software thing Oh OK But kn but then the question of the ergonomic interface that Oh I actually have some foot pedals for the what I was gonna say is that Adam OK has foot pedals that we could probably try and rig something up to Oh be super they connect to Uh keyboard and they generate keystrokes Oh totally cool now how how do you how do you decide which keystrokes they generate Um a little program that downloads into it Um And this But Windows program probably only runs in Windows although I bet we could program it once And and then put it on another machine and it would work Except for the fact that we would have haven't unplug it and pow and change it w Does it lose the memory once unpowered it I don't know I don't think it does So hang on You have You have these foot pedals but you d not using them not using them anymore I used to use them So currently set up for Shift Control and Alt Yeah But I r I don't use them not even plugged in Wow so cool OK This sounds wonderful And Well tha uh if that would help uh certainly to willing to donate the them well the uh The part not wonderful is someone has to write the software Right Yeah true And you it know it is a PC connection so it would have to go on a somewhere Yeah Now at a pilot phase right now and what I was told is that beginning you know that the the pilot data would be something like half hour of uh or f you know half hour to forty minutes of running text And so for the pilot thing you know of course this would be useful Right And this w is I wou the pilot assu data assuming yeah I you would are not be generating it uh you know e eh uh transcribing all of it Well that that was part of the question is that if for Right if doing this regularly Imagine doing a couple of hours a week of transcripts um of recording uh I wouldn't expect you to do No No no the question is do you know of resources that we could use So are there grad students or undergrads or just yeah OK commercial now services involved with some of that At at CogSci um So Susan E Susan who you know um would typically and done this too supervise undergrads Hmm to do this kind of thing and they c you know you can give them like if you give them a little bit of instruction and and make it interesting for them they can do it as a two or s or not two what is it one whatever undergraduate research credit Because what you Oh do really is you can So you we know only build have it to into them some credits a don't have to give them money Well uh you have to be sure you give them compensation for you know of Oh you some have of pay some them sort Awesome What I mean is not necessarily monetary But if they feel like getting something out of it sometimes you can do it that way And otherwise as part of a grant you can you can do it some sort of Yeah minimal wage
