Latifah, happy to hear you find the guidelines helpful. While transcribing an interview the first question you want to ask is whether the transcription is to be verbatim or clean read (The end-user of the transcript can answer that for you). This will help you a great deal in deciding what to keep and edit out from the transcript. If the transcript is to be verbatim, the jokes, laughter, and other such can be highlighted with bracketed comments such as [laughter], [long pause], etc. For transcription software you might try using Express Scribe. It's a free application for transcription with shortcut keys for playback, rewind, forward, etc. that immensely speed up the process of transcription (even if you don't have a pedal). Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hello there.I must say that I find your guide lines quiet helpful.I have just begun to tackle a dvd lecture for the first time.Im a bit anxious because it is my first time and I have no idea as to how to trascribe an interview.I have however took minutes of meeting for a long time but I must say this is by far very different.

How do you know what you should put in and what should be left out.How do make the reader of this text know when the person being interviewed is now making a joke.etc These are some of the many question that I have.I have only now come to realise that there is a completely a different style of transcribing.What makes it worsre is that I dont have the software installed on my pc or have the pedal device.Please help.

Thanks
Latifah
