To see the available transcription tasks:

1. Go to universalsubtitles.org and log in with your TED account.

2. Click your user name in the top-right hand corner, and go to "TED" under "Teams."

3. To the left, you'll see a section titled "Projects." The three subtitling projects you can participate in are: TEDTalks, TEDxTalks and TED-Ed. Only TEDxTalks need English captions.

4. Over the video thumbnails, click "Tasks."

5. Set up the filters. For the first one (that says "All" by default"), select "Transcribe." For "tasks in," select "TEDxTalks." If you want to do a transcript from scratch (not review an already made transcript), leave the default setting "no one" for "assigned to" (so, you want to see transcription tasks that have not been assigned to anyone yet). If you want to try your hand at a review, select "anyone."

5. Browse through the talks and select something that you want to transcribe. For your first task, it may be a good idea to go with a short talk.
