I tried to use this, but it looks like they have to review me for access.

I've tried the IBM and Google transcription APIs on a podcast with overlapping speakers, and they turned out dadaist poetry. I've been meaning to check out other solutions.

Where's the audio? We also provide automated transcripts and I'd love to compare it.

Click the "Episode ___" link in the first paragraph, then search for "Direct mp3 download" on that page.

I'd love to see more details on what you do. I haven't found a good automated solution yet. It seems like the solutions with acceptable quality involve Mechanical Turk.

Edit: I added a Bing attempt, and I'll link the list, rather than individual eps: http://mefiwiki.com/wiki/Podcast#automated_transcripts

Hmm. Is it $0.60/min for the automated solution?

Automated transcripts are free. That's the pricing for our manual transcription.
