Meta Four years of Transcribers of Reddit! Birthday Celebrations inside! 🎉
From all the mod team, we’re so proud to celebrate Transcribers of Reddit’s fourth birthday with you all!
We’ve grown so much over the years, it is truly amazing for us to see how much this sub has grown and spread. With over 4325 volunteers dropping in from across the globe we’ve managed to complete around 141,883 posts over the years; an astonishing number!
It all helps, no matter how many transcriptions you do, whether it’s 1 or 10,000 (you know who I’m talking about...) every one is a step towards making Reddit more accessible to people everyday.
In celebration of this awesome occasion we would love for you to share your favourite things that have happened over the years. Maybe it’s your favourite testimonial you’ve received, the funniest thing you’ve transcribed, amusing interactions with the mods, anything you’d like to share! :) Of course we’ll share some of our favourite memories too!
Once again thank you all for everything you do! Transcribers, programmers, mods, everyone that helps on on Discord; we appreciate everything you put into this and think you’re all smashing :D

It's so rewarding to know that our work does actually help people! There are a bunch of comments on this transcription in particular that show how transcriptions helped them: https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/comments/mhhqds/to_be_smart/gszisvt?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

I still can't forget how someone literally gave a gold award to my 500th transcription 💛 I've been busy lately so I'll be stuck in gold for a while, but I'm looking forward to getting back to my transcription weekends!

I’m late but my proudest moment was yesterday when I transcribed one post that took hours and 80% of my battery. And I’m on mobile

Still fairly new here. This is such a rewarding sub to be part of. I'm also seeing subs I'd never have come across before. Thank you Mods for all the support at the beginning when I didn't quite get the hang of cut-and-paste for the formats and was trying to do it long-hand. Mods are the unsung heroes here.
Extra nice bits? I got over a hundred upvotes from one transcription, which was lovely.
Not so nice bits? I logged in one morning to discover I'd been hit by a bigoted small-minded troll but, while my stomach initially lurched down to my toes, I then read the thread of further comments and saw that the troll had been downvoted to oblivion and there were so many other supportive heartwarming comments that it turned out to be really rewarding experience after all! Reddit has your back. (But I'm glad I didn't see it until after!)
