View submission: The Future of Transcribers of Reddit

View parent comment

I'm an avid reader on r/ProgrammerHumor, and I'm now reading through all the "how to transcribe" notes to improve my knowledge so I can add transcriptions to r/ProgrammerHumor images.

Normally, I'd say I'd add a bot, but, well, here we are with API issues. *sigh*

(My day job involves working with vtt and audio description files, so I'm familiar with *how* things are transcribed…for video, and by a marketing department.)

I can try to do the same, but I'm losing interest in reddit tbh. But I'm starting up freelance transcribing work on Lemmy, and ik there's a similar community there that I could help!

(Watch me get shadowremoved for mentioning that website. Man, I hate reddit lately)

You can make a bot that emulates humans. Like click on the screens and stuff.

Look up pyautogui and beautiful soup.
