Another benefit of transcription is that one can also add rich annotations to the transcript to provide relevant details on lexical, grammatical, social and other issues pertaining to the title and its language. Once the original speech is transcribed, the transcript then can be translated into relevant target languages. Serious transcription is a difficult and time consuming process and must be done with care. The speech of the finished title should be transcribed in the original language's script and time coded such that each clause or sentence is marked in terms of beginning and end times. However, transcription can be done using even a word processor as long as the conventions listed below are followed and time codes exactly match the A/V title that is being transcribed. THL has adopted InqScribe (pronounced Ink Scribe) as our main transcription solution and we recommend partners use it too.

InqScribe is an easy to use but powerful transcription software made by Inquirium. That time is considered a gain later on, when my brain was finally able to store the short-cut words.THL Toolbox > Audio-video > Linguistic Processing - Transcription, Annotation And Translation > Transcription & Inqscribe In my case, I listed out so many shortcuts that I have to check every now and then my list if the shortcut exist. If you are just starting with your shortcut routine, it can be a little frustrating in the beginning.

In this example, you can see that I’ve saved myself typing 180 times the word ‘you know’. Here’s an a real example of how many “you know” words I saved myself from typing. You now know within five minutes what I’ve figured out after more than 2 years. You don’t want to spend another hour or so deleting unwanted spaces. Here’s what’s the box looks like and how you are going to replace the words.ĭo not leave a space after the words. Make sure you are in a “Home” Mode.ĥ. Click replace.

First identify what often repeated words the speaker in the audio usually say.

I noticed that there are words and expressions in the audio that are often repeated.So here’s how I worked around my pained pinkie.

And I mean like around 50 shortcut words. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I did not find it helpful. I tried tinkering with Inqscribe, I found they have some shortcut option of sort. After editing, I would copy and paste everything in MS Word, edit it once more, then it’s good to go. In the beginning of my transcription career, I would simply encode everything in Inqscribe, word for word. It allows me to manage the audio and type at the same time.
