So many times, I've clicked on the podcast because the topic interested me, but then when I realized it was audio, not a print article, I've put it off till later. I am such a visual person, I'd rather read than listen to audio clip. I know many people are the opposite, and it's great that we have resources for both types of learners here at ATP. I just consistently wish there was a transcript for each podcast that comes out, and especially for the ones with a list!

[Sorry, edited for all the auto-correct errors. I really need to go back and proof-read before I submit from my phone!]

I agree that it would be great, but the podcasts are often an hour long. It would take forever to write out the transcript!

maybe a speech recognition software? i used to use dragon in the mid to late 90s, was workable at the time and am sure it has gotten much better since then. dave, if i enabled it then started the podcast, would the built-in windows speech recognition software work?

I'd be interested to know your findings, Debra.

DRAGON you talk, it types for you. :)

How about just an outline or recap of the plants mentioned?

What was the one that is the lilac of the south? not crepe myrtle, but the one that can be crepe murdered. i was driving and couldn't write it down.

many thanks.

Hi Trux,

I really should put an outline/recap up each time. My only reason for not doing it yet is the time it takes. Once I'm done processing it, I'm ready to move on to something else. But I'll make an effort, especially now that I know that people want it.

That is Vitex (Vitex agnus-castus 'Shoal Creek') and it's one of our favorites!! Love love love that shrub!

I'd hoped maybe you had a written outline or list or something already on paper before you began, so it wouldn't be a lot of work to copy and share it. I certainly didn't mean to make a lot more work for you! Manually typing up an hour long podcast would be tedious!

We usually have a very rough outline and then just go from there. It's never a complete list of anything.

I've yet to come across a podcast with a transcript. Most podcasts are privately funded, and even the publically funded ones don't have transcripts.

Tithonia is another great heat tolerant plant.
