Clean Verbatim

The default transcription style at TranscribeMe is Clean Verbatim (CV), an approach to

transcribing that ensures the transcript is clear, succinct, easy to read, and accurately conveys

the audio's speech. For our Clean Verbatim product, we want to clean up the speech to make

it easier to read, but we don't edit what was said. The most common features of speech altered

in CV are stutters, stammers, filler words, informal pronunciation, feedback, and false starts.

This section will describe how to transcribe your audio file using TranscribeMe Clean

Verbatim.

Conversation to Include
At TranscribeMe, we transcribe the main speaker(s) and their dialogue with anyone else in the

file, even if the conversation seems irrelevant. This will sometimes require breaking up

another main speaker's dialogue. For example, if the interviewer (a main speaker) mutes the

phone to have a side conversation with a coworker while their interviewee (another main

speaker) continues talking, all three speakers' dialogues must be transcribed.
