I might actually consider using this feature, if they actually got California based numbers. Transcribing the phone posts isn’t too difficult, except when certain people’s voices are so loud they distort the phone’s pickup (*cough**cough*) and make a phrase completely unintelligible, even from context clues. I listened to his phone post about 55 times, and still I can’t figure out what the hell he said where I put (unintelligible). Sorry, man. I gave it my best shot.

Anyway, transcribing his phone post made me realize that I can transcribe with some decent speed. I felt like a fucking Bynar; listening to him speak and sort of sort his statement for later, whilst typing it all out as quickly as I could without making too many hindering mistakes in what I wrote. Why, if it weren’t for that bit of unintelligbility, I think it would have only taken two plays of the file. One to get it down, one to confirm. That’s not too bad a skill to have, I guess. Maybe I can look for transcription work in a different field…
