What is difference between Full verbatim and clean verbatim
Answers
Explanation:
Clean verbatim:
also known as intelligent verbatim or non-verbatim, is a style of transcription that omits or adjusts the following:
- Stutters
- Filler speech, including “um,” “uh,” etc.
- Repetition of words, unless useful for emphasis
- Speaker idiosyncrasies such as the repetitive use of “like,” “actually,” “sort of,” “kind of”, etc.
- Interjections made by the interviewer, such as “yeah” and “mm-hmm”
- Most non-speech sounds, including coughing and throat clearing (laughter may be left in if it helps the context)
- False starts or redirects
- Run-on sentences
Full verbatim :
it refers to a transcript that includes absolutely everything that is said, exactly how the speakers say it. This means we include all ums, uhs, grammatical and vocabulary mistakes, false starts and repetitions - everything. This kind of transcript can be particularly useful if you're studying discourse and the use of language, but can be quite tedious to read if you're more interested in the content or broader themes.
The other option is what we call 'intelligent verbatim'. By this, we mean that we still transcribe what was said - i.e. we're not going to summarise or leave anything out - but we clean it up a bit. We take out the ums and uhs and verbal tics such as 'you know' and 'like'. We remove false starts to sentences if it doesn't add any meaning to what the speaker is saying. We just make it a lot easier to read.
