I’m a moderator (/u/MurdoMaclachlan) of /r/TranscribersOfReddit, a now-shuttered project to provide accessibility to blind and visually impaired users. While I as an individual am affiliated with /r/TranscribersOfReddit’s parent 501©3 nonprofit organization Grafeas Group, this archive and my transcriptions on Lemmy are not. I just wanted a nice little box to put my transcriptions in for both my purposes and the purposes of blind, visually impaired, and/or low-data Lemmy users. If you would like to also transcribe posts for yourself, head over to the /r/TranscribersOfReddit wiki for some handy guidelines and templates [https://www.reddit.com/r/TranscribersOfReddit/wiki/guidelines/]! I also recommend my fellow moderator’s Lemmy transcription archive [https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]]. If you’d like me to transcribe a specific post, you can send me a private message and I’ll see what I can do. I don’t make promises on response times though, as I’m often busy. I also don’t tend to transcribe videos.

Looks like @[email protected], formerly a transcriber for r/TranscribersOfReddit, is occasionally doing freelance transcriptions on Lemmy in their spare time. This post directly hyperlinks the Lemmy community that Murdo looks to be using to aggregate all their transcriptions via comment permalinks.

Here is a relative macro link: [email protected] . Although I don’t think it’ll show any posts for RBlind users until someone from this instance first subscribes to Murdo’s lemmy.world community, in order for ActivityPup to forward on new posts and comments.

Alternatively, folks could also follow Murdo’s user comments via mastodon for push notifications, e.g:

To view the context (from mastodon) of the lemmy post that a transcription comments on, you can navigate to the More menu (or dot-dot-dot icon) on the toot view of the lemmy comment, then click Expand this post to view the context as more toots, or Open original page to navigate directly to the lemmy instance hosting the post.

    That’s odd. Directly clicking this link redirects to the user page on lemmy.world, where as if you search for the lemmy user name in the search bar via mastodon, then click on the user there, you can get to the same URL without being redirected away from mastodon.social… Very confusing.
