Needs subtitles urgently

Thanks for taking the time to explain this interesting project. Though my primary motivation for using the WCGrid is to help fight diseases (especially cancer), I'm glad to be a part of the Clean Energy Project as well.

@jmrc1982 HCC is planning on doing this with their upcoming OpenCL app. Should also allow multicore processors to process the same work unit. I'd buy a Radeon HD 7990 just for this

We need a GPU support now. For this and another projects.

@gedece you can use the transcribe audio function if you like. Not that it's particularly useful, but it is pretty funny.

Thanks: this has cleared up some doubts I had about the effectiveness of the project.

@rnpjohnson Check for what packages your computer is sending, and what instructions are being executed. For that you'll have to search and install a disassembler for executables.

@gedece I'd have to agree, I tried Youtube's automated subtitles and it's pretty pointless.
