not by the speaker but by other people,
should, if at all, it be included in the
transcription? Full Verbatim.
Answers
Answer:
In my opinion not it's right or wrong
Explanation:
Verbatim transcription is the art of converting spoken word into text such that a message is captured exactly the way it has been spoken.
This requires a keen ear and attention to detail. Verbatim transcripts cannot be created by mindlessly listening and typing. One has to pay close attention to every sound, tone, word and make intelligent use of punctuation to convey the correct message.
For example:
Female: We received a lot of support from…uh from community services- [baby starts crying].
Interviewer: Oh, do you want to take a short break?
Female: No that’s okay, I just need to turn her over [talks to the baby, 60s]. So I was saying…uhm…we got a lot of support in my first few weeks back from the hospital.
In this example, the transcript includes words as well as other details like background sounds, details of the mother talking to her baby, and fillers
