What should we do with curse words in the transcription? a) Leave the curse words out. b) Transcribe it word for word.

Answer 1

Answer:

leave the curse words out

Answer 2

The answer is b) Transcribe it word by word.

• If a curse word is present in the audio, while transcription, we must transcribe it word by word. We cannot make changes according to our wishes. We need to pen down as we hear in the audio.

• Transcription is the process of putting the text in a written format from an audio file. It requires careful hearing and attention to the words and pronunciations. Also, one's vocabulary and comprehension power should be good.

• Thus, even if curse words are present in the audio, they are a part of the file. Thus, it should also be written down in the text file.
