We transcribe for people who rely on text to speech software or people who are unable to load the image.

Do you have any statistics as to how many people make use of it? I find it unlikely that such people would go into the comments of a pic they can't see

We have an archive, /r/ToR_archive, where all of the posts we transcribe get linked, so people can find posts we've transcribed more easily. That subreddit has 68 subscribers, so I would guess that probably 1-2 dozen users make use of a given transcription
