Well, you can definitely cross Paul off of that spellchecker list.

[John Roberts]

Not just spellcheck but also go through the episode to make sure nothing was overlooked in the transcript. My hands are tied to help as I have no eps with me.

Also, it will be a good idea to edit and standardise each transcribe so they are all the same. You know, if five people make transcripts I can promise you there will be five different layouts and ideas on how they should look. I would like them to all be the same, with credit given to the transcriber at the bottom of each one. A simple edit here and there is all that is required when we start receiving 'em.

[Morgan]

I can help with spellchecking. I don't have the boxset but I do know where I can locate the episodes (and it's been years since I actually watched them so it'd be fun!). But it's you guys' call. I'll help out if you like.

[Bakuda]

Anyone who has a completed transcript can PM it to me like Paul said, but I would prefer it in an email: bakuda@sonicsatam.com. Please send it as a microsoft word (.doc) file.

Also, I can do a quick check on the transcripts as I recieve them before uploading them to the site. I've got the box set so it's no trouble.

[Hammer]

Could you also check the ones which are already done?
As I said before, I remember one or two sentences being missing in the Sonic Conversion transcript.
That way, the layout would be the same in all of them.

Also a few more questions. I couldn't do anything until today because I was busy with FCE.
7:25 (Dulcy mumbling and Bunnie nursing her) Dulcy: I didn’t do it, ma…______
8:14 (Ari riding Sonic) Ari: That patch of sand over there. Vibrations trigger hidden ____ ____.
8:46 (after the bot in the fortress appears) Sonic: Got, no problemo!
(does he really say "got"?)
10:37 (after Sonic sees the "weirdo TV") Ari: We have to unscramble it to get in.
(does he say "have" or "had". This doubt came because when I was trying to sub it, I used to take the Latin American Spanish dub as a reference when I wasn't sure about the English dialogue, although their translation was a bit bad, and they said "had" instead of "have", hence the doubt)

Thanks in advance. I doubt I will be able to transcribe much more today, but I'll try.

[Hammer]

Luckily, I've had time to finish the transcript. However, I have some more doubts to add to last post's.

12:24 Dulcy: It’ll be ____, but I’ll try.
13:45 Robotnik: ________________? (Sonic gets stuck into a ball) Comfortable, rodent?
22:07 Sally: _________. (something about a "case")

Please, if someone solves the doubts in these two posts, I can send the transcript to Bakuda for him to check it.

[Bakuda]

12:24 - Dulcy: It'll be a stretch, but I'll try.

13:45 - Robotnik: Why...you are, hedgehog. Comfortable, rodent? (This was in response to Sonic asking "What's up?")

22:07 - Sally: I rest my case.

[Hammer]

Thanks
And what about the ones in the previous post?
In fact, those ones are only two doubts, the other two are things that I've understood, but I'm not completely sure about.

[Bakuda]

Oops...sorry about that.

7:25 (Dulcy mumbling and Bunnie nursing her) Dulcy: I didn’t do it, ma…honest.
8:14 (Ari riding Sonic) Ari: That patch of sand over there. Vibrations trigger hidden whirlpools.
8:46 (after the bot in the fortress appears) Sonic: Got it, no problemo!
(does he really say "got"? He says "Got it")
10:37 (after Sonic sees the "weirdo TV") Ari: We have to unscramble it to get in.
(does he say "have" or "had". This doubt came because when I was trying to sub it, I used to take the Latin American Spanish dub as a reference when I wasn't sure about the English dialogue, although their translation was a bit bad, and they said "had" instead of "have", hence the doubt. You've got it right...it's have.)

[Hammer]

Thanks a lot
As soon as I come back home, I'll send you the finished transcript by e-mail.

[Metallou]

I would love to translate!

I already translated an Archie issue into french, so translating with those won't be too different.

But for now, I have to pass exams. I will be free of all of this at the evening of 24th.

You may contact me via private messages.

[Hammer]

This topic is for the people who want to do transcripts in English to make the French translators' work easier.
If you want to take part in the translation project, I suggest you contact its blog.

Thanks anyway ^^

The Game Guy transcript is finished. Now I'm waiting for Bakuda to get it checked.

The Game Guy transcript is finished. Now I'm waiting for Bakuda to get it checked.

I'll be checking it tonight. Anything that needs fixed I'll take care of it. If you'd like you can go ahead and choose another episode, announce which one you're doing, and start a new one.

[Hammer]

OK, I'll go with No Brainer.

A good thing I have is that, since I could never watch Season 2 on TV, I'm not influenced by the general dislike of several episodes. Not sure if No Brainer is one of those, however.

[btstlouis]

I can do Sonic Racer. Reply to this if that is okay since I don't know if the first post is updated or what not.

[chief]

First post does get updated. So Sonic Racer is yours

[btstlouis]

Okay cool. Is there a standardized way to do it? Like how many scene changes/actions do we put in parentheses if at all?

You can find some transcript examples here. I'm putting a few scene changes and actions in parentheses in mine but the most important thing is anything that is spoken.

You know, I'm actually hoping this project works, so I can actually UNDERSTAND some of the lies I misunderstood. I am german through and through, I can speak and write fluent english, but god forbid I can't understand a friggin tv show! If this gets translated inti things like french, italian, or hopefully german, I can actually get the few punch lines! So, if any one needs a german translator, I'm here.
(Of all the shows in amerika, satam and the smbss were the hardest to comprehend...)

(Sorry, lines not lies)
