Hi everyone,

We have a new volunteer opportunity for anyone who's interested. You will be 
eligible to earn $2.50 in credits once the task is successfully completed. 
Please find the description below and email me directly 
(madeleinel@xxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:madeleinel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>) if you are interested 
or if you have any questions:

Bookshare is looking for a volunteer transcriber.  We have some great video 
content that we want to make available on our website as well as on channels 
like YouTube.  To make them fully accessible, we need help transcribing the 
video for captioning.  The volunteer must be able to listen to the webinar and 
type the dialogue word-by-word with 100% accuracy.  The volunteer will need 
access to the Internet and a word processor like Microsoft Word, or another 
application where he or she can record text.  Currently, Bookshare has a one 
minute user testimonial video that needs transcribing. We may need help with 
other videos in the future as well. This project can be done by sighted or 
blind volunteers so long as that person can hear and accurately transcribe.

Thanks,

Madeleine Linares
