I had the same thought, Michael!

A toolchain that involves a simple way to record and upload audio,
PyBossa for crowdsourced transcription, and SayIt for presentation
could be a really useful thing. I’ve spoken with some MySociety people
about using this in the context of public meetings like election
hustings.

What do you think? I’d be really interested in working on building
such a toolchain.

Best,
Andy
