What is a Summarized Transcript for Audio Transcriptions?
Posted on 7:43 PM by Sara Haley
Whenever you are having digital audio transcribed by a transcription provider, you will generally be asked whether you want the returned transcript document to be a verbatim transcript or a summarized transcript. These are two totally different kinds of transcripts, so be prepared to know what you're talking about and exactly what you are requesting, as this will generally determine the cost of your transcription service as well.
A summarized transcript is a transcript that eliminates audio that is not necessary to the final transcript. For example, it will eliminate stutters, "uhs" and "ums," and incomplete, cut-off sentences by one or more of the speakers in the audio.
The other option is to have a verbatim transcript, which includes every single word spoken and sound made throughout the audio file. You can learn more about verbatim transcripts on this blog post.
