As the subject indicates... is anyone interested in converting Terence McKenna speeches to text?
So far I've done Eros and Eschaton and The World and Its Double.
It is relatively easy but only if you are a fast typer. You just listen along and type what you hear. I recommend using WinAmp to view because you can press alt+tab to shift between windows (to and from winamp and your word document), and then press the left arrow button and it will rewind approximately 4 seconds if you get behind... really easy way to do that. And not to mention you understand the concepts a lot better since you are writing them down.
I hope to get a website started with these types of speeches and transcriptions among other things.
If anyone is interested let me know... like I said it really helps if you're a fast typer when doing this, so keep that in mind.

Mon, March 24, 2008 - 12:33 AMGreat Idea! I'm not much of a typer but we should all take a look at:
www.scribd.com/
www.scribd.com/search
There are some there. Scribd is great, if you upload a text file, it converts it into many different formats, pdf, doc. . .and after some time an audio file.
