Verbatim Transcription Options
KATTS has been providing verbatim transcription services since 2003. Verbatim transcription gives a full transcript of everything that is said word-for-word in the audio. There are some options available to consider here:
- Option 1 - Fully verbatim including 'um', 'uh', ((laughs)), ((coughs)) and every utterance/pause filler (sometimes required in qualitative research and/or speech analysis). This style of transcription will incur an extra nominal charge.
- Option 2 - Verbatim but omitting 'um', 'uh', ((laughs)), ((coughs)) but including all words spoken and including repetitions of 'you know', 'I mean', 'sort of' etc during conversation.
- Option 3 - Intelligent verbatim transcription is a full transcription of everything that is said in the audio, but excludes 'um', 'uh' and repetitions of 'you know', 'I mean', 'sort of' etc. This is a common option for interview transcription.
- Option 4 - Grammar can be tidied up to make a more intelligible transcript for speeches and presentations.
- For interviews interviewer interjections such as ‘yeah’, ‘uh huh’ can be omitted if they do not add to the context of the conversation for example 'yeah', 'erm hmm', 'uh huh'.
