English
Do you ever find yourself adding exclamation points to your emails so they seem less stern? Tone is so important in communication: even language that seems clear and straightforward to you could be completely misunderstood by others.
With so much communication today being captured and recorded, we're often now able to listen back to audio recordings of conversation to make sure we understand the tone of what's being said. Being able to review the original audio is important when verifying any transcript, especially for journalists or researchers who want to ensure they're accurately representing what a source or interviewee has told them.
There are three types of verbatim transcription:
Intelligent - or clean - verbatim transcription records the content without the false starts, pauses and extra language that take away from the intended content of the speech. It gives you a cleaned-up version. This style of transcription often produces an edited version of what was actually said - it focuses on the what was said rather than how and in what context it was spoken.
Verbatim transcription records all the words, including any false starts and errors, but cuts out any stuttering and repetition to make for an easier read. Filler words like 'um' and 'ah' don't make the cut in this style of verbatim transcription.
True - or full - verbatim transcription gets to the nitty gritty of exactly how dialogue happens. It's the most detailed verbatim transcription method, recording every utterance as it happens. It's the best option to truly capture the true essence of what's been said and in what context.
