Project details
What we need
- Transcript(s) for up to 5 hours of audio/video recordings
Additional details
This project is Transcript Proofreading rather than building them from scratch.We are requesting that you proofread ONE transcript. You will receive a Google file with a link to our Style Guide. In addition, you will get access to an online software program that allows you to edit the draft of the text as you listen. This is meant to streamline the process a bit. Thank you for your willingness!
What we have in place
- We have audio files and draft transcripts. We also have cloud-based software and Style Guide and the ability to answer any questions you may have.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,010 , allowing us to the money we save will help increase our reach. It is also offering an important service to our community by making it more inclusive, which aligns with our values.
Giving your time to this project will allow us to increase the accessibility of our podcast. It is important to include as many listeners as are interested: deaf and hard of hearing people might benefit from accessing the podcast from transcripts. In addition, transcripts of the podcast on our website will help with our SEO, making us more discoverable.

Our mission
Black Women Stitch is the sewing group where Black lives matter. We center Black women, girls, and femmes in sewing. We practice the principles of Black liberation, radical self love, and social justice.
What we do
*Stitch Please podcast, a weekly audio show, is our major project. The podcast aims to support, celebrate, and inspire Black women sewists locally and around the world.
*Weekly chats on Instagram Live to answer questions and address issues/topics of interest, including material from the podcast, current sewing projects, and dismantling white supremacy.
Testimonials
Maryanne is a SUPERLATIVE VOLUNTEER! She went above and beyond in her support of Black Women Stitch and the Stitch Please podcast. Her contributions exceeded the already important work of making our podcast accessible to our deaf and hard of hearing community members. In addition, she offered detailed and hyperfocused feedback on our Style Guide, which will help new volunteers begin their own transcriptions on stronger footing. Thank you SEW much!
Lisa, founder of Black Women Stitch, is well-organized and helpful. She sets up the project well and provides the needed tools and resources. If you are a sewing aficionado (or interested in learning!), you will especially enjoy listening in on the podcasts or getting involved in other aspects of Black Women Stitch's work. Recommended!
