CTR Transcription Project

A team of trained transcribers is completing the transcription of close to 1,000 talks never transcribed before. The team is also reviewing, digitizing and correcting older transcripts, and team members also contribute to talk and seminar descriptions for the CTR Digital Library.

A key initiative

The CTR Transcription Project is a key initiative within the CTR Digital Library of the Chögyam Trungpa Institute at Naropa University.

The Digital Library will provide widespread access to the teachings of Chogyam Trungpa, including: audio of 1,600 lectures and other events and more than 250 hours of video. Central to the Library is the creation and revision of complete, accurate, searchable digital transcripts of those recordings.
