hi svig: What you did with TED talks is cool. I'd like to know how you did this? Please share technical details. Thanks in advance.

I have a cool way to use these transcripts. One question... I noticed the MIT Licence... but did TED authorize this? or have these just been scraped without explicit permission?

(No judgement, but wanted to know this before using the texts in a project)

Hi, no TED did not authorize it. Neither, they said otherwise. I tweeted a note to Chris with a link to the project.
