some factoids:
geographic region isn't a blocker, it can be done remotely.
"(although she can do transcription remotely as well)." -

PyCon 2013 used a cell phone jacked into the sound board, text came back in a web browser. I have no idea what protocol or anything more about this.) (I hear voip is used too.) (I hear the latency of the video stream creates a problem for someone trying to follow along at the event, but this very hearsay.)
Transcripts can be read later, like watching the recorded video.
Transcripts can be searched later, un-like video.
Transcripts can be translated later.
The transcript can be used to subtitle the recorded videos. (it takes a little work to A) organize the project and B) sync the text to the video (((the transcript timestamps lag by an inconsistent amount.))))))
Mirabai Knight is awesome. "Plover, a free, cross-platform steno engine that works with $45 hardware, offers hackers and hobbyists the ability to type at up to 240 WPM in applications ranging from wearable computing to captioning to coding." -
