Full disclosure, writing the dialogue is the most fun part. I'm even reading Forrest Gump to try to learn how to transcribe an awful redneck accent, watching Hart of Dixie to try to teach myself to speak with an Alabama drawl and reading some books on Crimson Tide football to pick up cultural touchstones for a 'Bama boy.

It wouldn't decrease the work, I think. Aside from the fact that no program will work in Icelandic*, there's also the fact that everything would have to be edited so much that it would amount to a re-write. Game sessions feature a lot of conversation that doesn't interest anyone and has no value to anyone.
*Dialogue is in English, as the game is set in America, but our OOC chatter and descriptions of actions are in Icelandic.

The only dialogue I include are the funny quotes, at the end.

Unfortunately, I haven't done very well in snappy, funny dialogue. Most of the jokes are OOC, leaving the talky scenes written up purely IC coming off as dramatic, corny and probably rather boring.
