What is Intelligent Verbatim Transcription
We do not speak the way we write, where sentences have a clear beginning, a middle and an end. Listening to a conversation between two people one hears plenty of incomplete sentences as the speaker’s train of thought wanders around the topic. The same word may be repeated several times as the speakers find ways to express themselves. Pauses for thought are represented by filler expressions such as: uh, um, kind of, sort of, like, and you know.
