General Transcription Style Guide

General Transcription is a new opportunity for anyone who desires to have their own business. However, there is a lack of style guides available for transcriptionists who are not working in a medical or legal field. Every individual and company offering general transcription services has their own preferences, their own rules. There are no standards.

The goal of this guide is to set basic standards of formatting, grammar and punctuation as it pertains to general transcription.

The General Transcription Style Guide answers questions such as:

Should I indicate laughter or other noises in a transcript? How do I indicate words that I can't quite hear? What punctuation marks should I never use in a transcript?

The General Transcription Style Guide is based on the personal experience of a general transcriptionist who has worked with private individuals and companies for four years. The guide is based on common transcription needs and preferences of a variety of clients. It can be used for both verbatim and non-verbatim transcription.

This guide is not exclusive. All transcription companies and private clients may have their own preferences. Always follow the preferences of your client or the company you are subcontracting for.
