User blog:Kettlon/30 days and counting

Hello everyone! Just edited for the 30th consecutive day and got the Storm award. After working consistently on the Sonic Boom transcripts, I feel that with the episodes getting personally more difficult I feel that it's the right time to move on from here. I hope you enjoyed reading some of my created transcripts (Which can be found here). I'm certainly (and still am) humbled by the praise being given, particularly the one being given from the most prolific editor on this site so far.

Here's how I managed to create so many of them in a relatively short space of time: In reality I used three things, unlike the one I mentioned earlier on my wall: OpenOffice Calc, Notepad and YouTube.
 * With Calc I was able to copy and paste an existing transcript and keep the essential parts in like the episode order, intro etc.
 * Notepad is what I used to write the transcript, because editing it on the source takes ages. :P I copy and paste the template from Calc onto it, and start writing. Once it's completed I copy and paste it on the main source. I use two files: Both of them contain scripts, but one of them is a backup in case it happens to be deleted.
 * YouTube is the most important of them all obviously. It's the only way as far as I know to access all the videos of Sonic Boom, particularly Season 2. It wasn't long until I found auto-generated subtitles, which significantly reduces the number of corrections other people had to make when it comes to the real thing.

So, I hope this blog post acts as a helpful resource for anyone wishing to create more transcripts. Now it's time for the the numbers game: I've done 30 of them, with over 400,000 bytes of new content. With only 12 redlinks and 18 incomplete ones left, I've got a great feeling that all of these will be finished at some point, despite the long arduous process. Thanks for reading!
