Library of transcripts is updated!

Hi everyone! I hope y’all are as excited about Ethersea as we are! Just completed some housekeeping and we’re happy to announce that our catalogue of read-only transcripts has now been updated to include the rest of Amnesty, almost all of Graduation (the last few episodes will be up soon!), and most of Ethersea so far!

Now that the McElroys have announced that TAZ will be going weekly (!!!) we can use all the help we can get with transcribing! Head over to the ~Master Tracking Document~ for links to all the editable documents and to see which episodes need work. Dive right in! Don’t wait for permission! You can consult our Resources and Formatting Guide for transcription software and guidelines for how to format and style our transcripts.

You’re also invited to The Transcription Zone, our Discord server, for real-time coordination of Team TAZscript efforts, or just to chat with friends. Type @mods there if you need to get in touch with us!

As always, thank you for all your contributions great and small, and for being the best community!

hey! i've been steadily working on editing the proofreading the taz balance transcripts and i've made it through story and song and stolen century just fine, but the google doc for part 4 of stolen century, episode 63, can't be edited so i was wondering if u could fix that for myself and any other would-be proofreaders going through balance

Fixed! Thank you

Hi everyone!

Episodes 15 & 16 are now made into a document and ready to go. I believe one volunteer’s made huge progress with transcribing these episodes already, so that basically leaves formatting.

Blank documents for upcoming episodes 17-24 are linked in the Master Tracking Document, so i encourage you all to check that out when the new episodes drop. I’ll do what I can with posting about a new episode here for everyone.

Now to continue with our regularly scheduled reminders: You can consult the Resources & Formatting Guide for links to transcribing software and a guide to how we style the documents.

You’re also invited to The Transcription Zone, our Discord server, for real-time coordination of team TAZscript efforts. Type @mods there if you need to get in touch (I’d argue this is the fastest way to get in touch with mods).

Just want to read the transcripts? Find read-only versions on our Transcripts page.

Thank you all again for everything you do!

hey out of curiosity, does this blog also transcribe MaxFunDrive bonus content?

This blog does not, but it does look like MaxFun has plans to transcribe bonus content in-house. It’s not clear when those will be ready

[tazscripts]

Hello! Many apologies for the lack of activity (I’m sure you all know how wild the past 2 months have been...)

Episodes 6, and 8-10 are now posted and ready for transcribing. Here are the links:

As always, you can dive right into contributing by clicking on any of these links. There’s also our Master Tracking document where you can see where else help is needed.

Thank you everyone for all your help and patience!

The next episode of TAZ Graduation is up and ready

Thanks everyone!

Full disclosure I’m posting on mobile so I don’t have the usual links for our discord and master tracking guide but they exist! Depends on whether mobile posts can be edited on desktop

[tazscripts]

scuze me can just anyone edit the transcripts or do you need approval from the council or something? like can i help or do i have to be initiated? ps thank you very much for all your hard work you guys are rockstars! the wires between my ears and brain are crossed but my eyes work fine so thanks

Yup, anyone can edit the transcripts! We don’t require anything from anyone who wants to contribute :)

If you want to know roughly how we format the documents, we have a little Resources Guide.

It’s not really possible to tell people what to do when we’re all in different time zones and personal schedules, so we let volunteers contribute how/when they want to. You can see what episodes need work on our Master List.

In Episode 21 of petals to the metal, the text kind of goes chaotic and there's a mess of numbers and spacing that shouldn't be there and I was wondering if any of you were aware of it. It occurs around when Hurley starts explaining what happened between her and the Raven.

This has been fixed, thank you! I restored it to a previous version before those things were added.

Also sorry for the incoming spam, y’all, I forgot tumblr won’t let you queue/make drafts of asks -_-

Graduation

We are still continuing the project for TAZ Graduation, some personal life stuff and tumblr’s terrible “you can’t edit a post on desktop that you made on mobile” thing threw a wrench into updating this regularly. I’ll try to be more on top of that.

Posts for the links to Graduation docs so far are going up soon. Most of them are transcribed. For episodes 4 & 5 (and the last half ish of 3) I pasted from the MaxFun transcript, so there’s still formatting to do on those.

I know Justin’s doing some weird accent for Firbolg, but for accessibility it would be easiest to just transcribe the words he’s actually saying and avoid trying to phonetically type out what it sounds like he’s saying in the accent.

I’m also going to queue up answers to some questions we’ve gotten in our inbox so that you’re not spammed in one day.

Anyway, thank you all so much for your patience and contributions ❤

Hi! So I’ve been thinking about translating taz into Spanish. Do you mind if I use your transcripts for this purpose? Also, I find your format really useful. Could I copy it (with some small changes) for my translations? Of course, I would credit you for both things if that’s ok with you.

Yes, you can use TAZscripts transcripts for translations! This goes for any fan translation projects. Volunteers transcribed the show to help make it more widely available and accessible, so the transcripts can be used for anything that helps make the show accessible to more people-- like translations into another languages.

Apologies for the lack of activity on the Tumblr. My 2019 was eaten up with significant health problems. New transcripts have been going forward, with progress recorded on the Master Tracking document: the first two episodes of Graduation are done! Most coordination happens now on the TAZscripts Discord, which you can join here: discord.gg/HfxaaxQ

After a long journey, the Amnesty finale is here. It’s a long one, so any transcribing help would be greatly appreciated.

Join our discord for live help and live freaking out about the episode: discord.gg/HfxaaxQ
