Tell us! This is a volunteer project, so we have no expectations or requirements for completion.

<!--
== Working on a Transcript ==

=== Make a Machine Readable Version ===
* Get the MP3 (from the episode wiki page)
* Import the MP3 into Descript
* Export a VTT file from Descript
** Check the "Remove ums/uhs Checkbox"
* Upload VTT file to wiki
* Link VTT file in [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lFYnK-Z_eDAp_6D7SAZvCrcw3LxoLdBcEHzzVs9oztI/edit#gid=0 The Portal Media Progress]

=== Run Through Alex's VTT Conversion Program ===
Find the [https://github.com/Buhlean/The-Portal-Scripts VTT Conversion Program] on Github.
Then either:
* Download [http://Python.org/downloads Python] 3.x, download the Conversion Script ([https://github.com/Buhlean/The-Portal-Scripts/blob/master/Transcript_Converter.pyw .pyw]) and run it.
or:
* Download the [https://github.com/Buhlean/The-Portal-Scripts/blob/master/Transcript_Converter.zip .zip] with the Windows executable inside from GitHub and run it.
Regardless of which one you choose, you can then:
* open the output '_wiki.txt' file
* Paste into Wiki

=== Make Human-Edited Version ===
* Add your name to the "Responsibility" column in [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lFYnK-Z_eDAp_6D7SAZvCrcw3LxoLdBcEHzzVs9oztI/edit#gid=0 The Portal Media Progress], so people know who to contact with questions.
* Make edits to the wiki. All progress will be tracked in the "View History" tab.
** If you want your name to be listed in the History, then you'll need to [[Special:CreateAccount|create an account]].

=== Update VTT file with Human-edited Version ===
* Upload the MP3 file to Descript
* Make sure file is in right format to be imported into Descript.
** https://help.descript.com/en/articles/2343178-import-transcript-formatting-tips
** https://help.descript.com/en/articles/3337674-transcribing-an-audio-video-file
** Import the transcript into Descript
* Export VTT file
* Upload back to wiki. Make sure you use the same filename, so that a new version of the file is created.

=== Run Through VTT Parser to Make Wiki-Friendly Text ===
* Paste new version to wiki.
* Update "Transcript Notes".
