If you go sign up at www.swsub.com, you can ask them to record the actual broadcasts with subtitles on screen. They run that through an Optical Character Recognition program to produce a text file transcript, which is uploaded here. I'm attempting to turn a transcript for [07x04] into subtitles using one of these transcripts (despite my own hearing impairment). Unfortunately, these transcripts appear to have been made off a repeat on a channel with adverts (i.e. a couple of minutes is missing to create space for ads). Bear in mind that TV subtitles aren't verbatim - to save time and space, they may summarise what is being said (the meaning is the same; just sometimes not every spoken word is included).
I suggest we try to use these transcrips where possible and seek help here to fill in the editted out parts. It would quicker and more easier than people manually making transcripts for each episode as was done for the Polar Challenge and early subtitles on here.
