After Transcribing

  • Match time stamps so that they start with the speech attached to it
  • Listen to the audio on normal speed to make sure that the words match the audio (no words missing, no words added)
  • Read through the style guide and edit accordingly
  • Make separate paragraphs for topic changes
  • There will be communication with the participant after the transcription; keep that in mind to encourage you as something to look forward to
  • Remembering the mission of the project will also encourage you
  • Exercise confidentiality and other ways of protecting the narrator's rights and privacy
  • Think of the audience of the project
