Transcription levels

Recordings are transcribed using different levels of verbatim. We will discuss this with you when you book your transcription job. In summary, the three levels are:

Complete Verbatim – used in court, police and other legal work; also for analytical purposes in university research.

This level of transcription is the most time-consuming and includes everything that is heard: false starts, stutters, interjections and repeated words and phrases such as ‘you know’ and ‘kind of’; all non-verbal sounds such as ‘uh’, ‘um’; coughs, laughs, pauses, and noting when people enter or leave the room.

Intelligent Verbatim – used in general research interviews and focus groups.

Eliminates all non-verbal sounds and stutters, interjections and repeated words and phrases such as ‘you know’ and ‘kind of’. It may include false starts if they have a bearing on what is being said.

Edited Transcripts – often used for lectures and focus groups where the transcript is still an accurate account of what was said, but eliminates all the idiosyncratic speech, incomplete sentences, and irrelevancies.
