Answer 2

The format for verbatim and non-verbatim jobs are different.

For verbatim work, the sentence does not need to be cleaned up. Every sound and word should be written exactly as you hear it. This includes transcribing all false starts (e.g. um.../uh...), filler words (e.g. like), and stutters  (e.g. s-s-so). Hence, the answer would be option (iv), where the transcription is exactly the same as the spoken sentence, without removing or changing anything.

For non-verbatim work, the sentence should be cleaned up. Therefore, one will need to lightly edit non-verbatim work to remove false starts (e.g. um.../uh...), filler (e.g. like), and stutters (e.g. s-s-so). Hence, the answer would be option (i) here would be to remove the word 'Umm' from the start of the spoken sentence when transcribing.

Answer: Option (iv) if the work is verbatim.  

               Option (i) if the work is non verbatim.
