8 年This is a really great piece, especially because conferences can be very intimidating places and having a way to get your feet wet makes the transition a lot smoother. I was wondering do you have any recommendations on transcribing your videos? I make a series of weekly videos on trends in the media market place and was wondering if there are any apps or services you'd recommend? Or do you just do it the old fashion way?
