I\'m actually working on three of those tapes, and so far, I\'m averaging a little over 4 hours per tape. Do you think it\'s taking too long, or do you think that\'s pretty good?



This is my first time transcribing audio tapes, so I would very much appreciate any feedback.



Thank you for your time. ▲ Collapse

Not many posts in the Japanese language forum is there. I wonder why when there are many more participating in the Kudos.

I believe that\'s because you can\'t earn KudoZ point here...
