    This document provides guidelines for transcribing sound events from audio recordings. It notes that sounds made by the speaker should be written in brackets and present tense on the same line as the text. Sounds not made by the speaker, such as applause or laughter, should be written on separate lines. Significant unidentified sounds occurring while the speaker talks can be written on the same line. Pauses of over 10 seconds should be noted with a time stamp in brackets, while shorter pauses of 4-10 seconds use brackets alone. Sections where audio is cut should be marked with [sound cut]. Foreign language should be marked with [foreign language] and the specific language if identifiable.

    [chuckling] [laughter] [phone ringing] et cetera. Use [background noise]
    on separate line for ambiance noise. Use [background noise] on same
    line if a significant unidentified sound occurs while the speaker is talking.
    [crosstalk], [silence]- can be placed in separate line or same line. [pause
    00:00:00] bolded and time stamped is used to demonstrate a pause
    significant in a speech. It must be longer than 10 seconds for it to be
    marked. [silence] is used to demonstrate a short pause in speech; not
    less than 4 seconds but not longer than 10 seconds. When the audio is
    cut or edited, use [sound cut] on a separate line or the same line;
    wherever the sound cut was done. If a foreign language or a word (in
    this case, a language that is not English) is spoken, mark it as [foreign
    language] or [French language], [German language], et cetera if it can be
    identified.
