Help us transcribe the Fitzwilliam Museum's Death on the Nile audioguide

Hello, I'm Daniel Pett and I lead the Fitzwilliam Museum's digital team. In these uncertain times of Covid-19, we're all trying to make the most of the situation and I need some help. Maybe you can be that person?

Our museum has a legacy audio guide that I want to make work harder and augment our collections information with searchable text of the descriptions and stories that were created for the audio tour. These texts could help people experience our amazing objects in a different way, and maybe we could translate them.

The material in this section comes from our hit Egyptian exhibition on our Egyptian coffins research - Death on the Nile.

So for this application, I have split the tours into 10 second segments or when there is a space in the audio. I'd like you to listen to the text and look at the automatically generated transcription and correct it if needed.

If you can help me, then I'll post your name as a contributor to our internal and external systems which are going through lots of change right now.

Thank you for your time, I and the MicroPasts team appreciate it.

Daniel
