What is Verbatim Transcription

Verbatim transcription is the process of writing down exactly what someone says in a speech. The work of a verbatim transcriber is to capture everything said in a conversation, interview, or meeting, including pauses, false starts, or other sounds not part of the spoken words. A verbatim transcript is the most accurate reflection of what was said in the audio.

Advantages

  • Captures every detail of what was said, vocal, and non-vocal sounds in the audio.
  • Limited subject matter expertise is adequate as the task involves no interpretation.

Downsides

  • Verbatim transcripts are often difficult to read and comprehend.
  • Automated text processing programs almost universally underperform on verbatim transcripts.
