Transcribing
Whew....
Just finished transcribing a 15 minutes interview. The process took much much longer than the actual interview. I had not expected the process of typing up spoken dialouge would be this time-consuming.
Some of the lessons I've learned from this process are:
1) People don't talk in complete sentences.
2) People tend to repeat words and phrases in the same sentence.
3) People talk in very long sentences, very difficult to find a place to put the full stop. However, during conversations, the pacing sounded right.
4) People use lots of ermm and aaah.
