  • Transcription Samples


  • This is the most popular and standard form of transcription. It edits out filler words such as “umm,” “uhh,” and “like.” It also excludes stutters, false-starts, and repetitive words; making the transcript easier to read without changing any meaning and without exercising editorial discretion.

    Verbatim transcription includes filler words such as “umm,” “uhh,” and “like.” It also includes stutters, false-starts, repetitive words, and sounds (such as laughter). The aim is to transcribe all audible content.
