Types of Transcription
Intelligent
An intelligent transcript edits the words to develop a manuscript suitable for publication. Contractions are expanded ("cause" becomes "because") and grammatical errors are corrected.
Verbatim
Verbatim transcriptions are usually requested by academic institutions and researchers who need to be able to accurately recreate interviews. Pauses, coughs, words such as "um" and "err" are noted in the transcription. All words are typed as said, including filler words such as "yeah".
Intelligent Verbatim
Intelligent verbatim transcripts record the words verbatim, but omit other utterances, background noises and interruptions. This transcription style is the standard used for police and legal interviews.
