Transcript extract
[00:08:24] KENNEDY: Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why 35 years ago fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon, choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win.

President Kennedy explains why the United States is committing to a crewed Moon landing before 1970: the pace of scientific change, the risk of falling behind, the jobs and industry the space effort is creating in Houston, and the cost, which he puts at 40 to 50 cents per person per week.

Who it's for
- Podcasters: transcripts help listeners and search engines find your episodes, and captions get more views on social video.

- Journalists and writers: interviews with timestamps so you can find the quote fast.
- Businesses: meeting notes, webinars and training videos turned into documents your team can search.
How it works

- Email us the file or a share link (Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, YouTube or your podcast page), plus the speakers' names.

Questions
- Do you use AI?
- Yes. Speech recognition does the first pass, then every transcript is edited and checked against the recording by us: speaker names, spellings, numbers and anything the software misheard. If you'd prefer a fully manual transcript, ask for a quote.
- What about poor audio or strong accents?
- We'll do our best and mark anything we genuinely can't hear as [inaudible 00:04:12] rather than guess. If most of a file is unusable, we'll tell you and refund you.
- Is my recording private?
- Yes. We only use it to do your job, never share it, and delete it 30 days after delivery. We can sign a simple confidentiality agreement.
- What languages?
- English (UK, US and other accents). Other languages by quote.
- What if something's wrong?
- Tell us the timestamp and we'll correct it free. See our refund policy.
