It seems like making a pure transcript version of a PDF generator would 
be possible.  I have used FPDF <http://www.fpdf.org/> in PHP projects 
before and this is a purely PHP solution.  I imagine that library could 
be ported directly to transcript.  Granted it might not be as fast as 
an external but it would be something that everyone in the community 
could contribute to and it could be available for everyone to use 
regardless of a projects budget.
