This is a very simple service to do. Here are the steps to start.

1 - Send an email introducing yourself to [email protected]. Rishab will then add you as an editor of the Google spreadsheet we use to oversee the project.

2 - Choose a lecture from the list on our Google Spreadsheet. Just enter your name and the date next to the lecture you choose. This will make sure we don't have two people doing the same work.

3 - Copy the text of the lecture from the page into a blank Microsoft Word file, go to the review tab, and click track changes.

4 - Download the audio file from the page since it is easier to listen to it offline. You might need to listen to a few words again and again, and this is much easier to do with an offline file. The easiest way to download the lectures is by using a browser extension. There are many of these for both Firefox and Chrome which let you download any video or audio you are playing on a page.

Try http://www.downloadhelper.net/ for firefox, or FVD downloader for Chrome

5 - Then you just listen to the lecture and edit the text if it says anything different to what you hear. I have made a list of the most common things to look out for from my own experience. This is linked at the top of the table.

When you are done send me the file and I will be able to see exactly what you changed.

If you have any questions please let me know by skype or email. My skype name is rishab.hauter
