Speaker identification

To make sure speakers can be distinguished while remaining anonymity:

Use Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc. as labels. Do not use their name. This is due to PII security reasons.

If it’s a company entity or celebrity, you can still write their name.

Transcription specifics

Complete words vs. incomplete words

If it is a complete word - transcribe it.
If it is mostly a complete word - transcribe it.
- Example: I wan-- no, I mean I need to see this now.
- Transcribe as → I want-- no, I mean I need to see this now.
If it is not a complete word i.e a partial word such as a stutter - do not transcribe it and do not separate it by hyphen.
- Example (stutter): “Wh-wh-what makes you think that?”
- Transcribe as → “What makes you think that?”
Example 1 (complete word): “I-I-I went yesterday” should be “I I I went yesterday”.

Example 2 (complete word): “I-I think that I, I have forgotten my wallet” should be “I I think that I, I have forgotten my wallet.”

Example 3 (incomplete word): “Wh-wh-what makes you think that?” should be “What makes you think that?”
