Transcription Formats
We transcribe your audio according to the format protocol you set. Please see below three types of transcription formats that clients often use:
Verbatim: Every utterance is captured and recorded. That includes all uhm's, ah's, false starts and stutters, repetitions, distracting speech patterns, ("you know", "like") and remarks such as "right", "yeah" by an interviewer. This can also include pauses, laughter, crying, interruptions, personal comments, external noises, etc. In short, everything we hear!
Smooth verbatim: We do not transcribe certain utterances according to your specific instructions. Most clients ask to eliminate the uhm's, ah's, stutters and verbal tics but want to see everything else such as slang (gonna, wanna) and emotions. It is entirely up to you, how much or little we omit. Your specific protocol is strictly adhered to.
Content: This is an expansion of the smooth verbatim style. We edit as we transcribe. We correct grammar, eliminate interrupting comments from the interviewer, correct slang, omit personal comments. Content is mostly used when the "gist" of the recording is desired.
Whatever your requirements are, we ensure that every transcript meets your specifications!
