Em, another question. Lol. When I am betaing, I watch the episode as I read what the transcriber has written to see that each word is the same as from the mouths of the characters, etc, including the action descriptions. If there's a word that is different in the transcription, or an action that is not the same, I beta this? Or am I only betaing words that are incorrectly spelled, etc? Like SPaG?

A quick example: Transcription has "it is" "I have", etc, when in the episode I specifically hear "it's" "I've", etc. Should I be betaing that?

No, please also beta for accuracy! If the transcript differs from what you see or hear, change it.

Thanks! And one more question! Do you need to see what we beta'ed/changed?

No that's fine. :)

No the caps only go before dialogue. I know some transcribers put all the names in caps but I'll be correcting during Stage III beta.

Hey, Moonie, did you get the transcript of "Cornelius Sigan" back from me? I also sent a couple of questions about the next two... just checking. I don't want to be annoying, just to make sure there are no technical difficulties.

I did, yes! I'm very sorry for not getting back to you yet, there's some fandom-y as well as real life-y stuff that's keeping me very busy right now. I'll email you back as soon as I can!

Er, that was me. *facepalm* Clearly I'm in need of more coffee.

Question about a line in Lancelot - 1 starzangel1 September 15 2010, 16:40:52 UTC

In 1x05 'Lancelot' at around 16:05, does Uther say "Greenswood" or "Greensward"?

In 1x05 'Lancelot' at 27:07, does Arthur yell "Drop to line!"? The pesky griffin is screeching so loud!
