Question

How should you transcribe a spelled word?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When someone spells a word, use capital letters, separated by dashes Separate the complete word from the spell-out with a comma and transcribe the letters in uppercase. For example: Joe: His name was Bobby, B-O-B-B-Y.

Answer 2

Answer:

When someone spells a word, use capital letters, separated by dashes Separate the complete word from the spell-out with a comma and transcribe the letters in uppercase. For example:

Joe: His name was Bobby, B-O-B-B-Y.

When names or words are given after a letter to ensure that the letter is heard correctly, transcribe this way: "A," as in "APPLE," "B," as in "BOY," etc.

When a hyphenated name is the subject of a spell out, the words “dash,” or “hyphen,” should be typed out for clarity. For example:

S-M-I-T-H-dash-J-O-N-E-S
