Subtitle App

Makers of an app in development claim it will use crowdsourcing to create subtitles for everyday life. Researchers from the University of Rochester say Scribe sends an audio track from the user's phone to a central server where Amazon's Mechanical Turk crowdsourcing service transcribes the information. They are hoping that adding the human element will cut out some of the mistakes that computers alone will make when transcribing audio. The team says a beta version will be ready for release soon. Here's a video about it.
