French Transcription Guidelines These are the instructions that you must follow while transcribing files; please check the sample transcript for better understanding of these guidelines. 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Capital letter should not appear in the transcript. Use only the small letter. 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Numbers are not allowed to appear, you should write every number in French. 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No punctuation is allowed to appear, either. Just use space to separate words. 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All interjection words/modal particles should be like oh, hmm, shh, um, ah etc should be written. Don’t miss any of these modal particles. 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If speaker speak any other language other than French. Tag this conversation as (foreign). But you should write the French word for foreign in brackets. But, When you come across some English proper noun and Brand names, such as "iPhone", "Wifi", “YouTube” etc please write down as they are written by the brand themselves. Meanwhile, for the common English abbreviation, you should insert space between each letter such as KFC should be transcribed as "K F C". 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If there is any noise in some part of the audio file, tag it is as (sound). But, you should write the French word for sound in brackets. 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No matter its 2 or 3 people talking at the same time, you could label a tag (overlapping) to replace the content. Write the French word for overlapping in brackets. But please make sure if only several words are overlapped in a sentence, you should transcribe out the rest part, and only label the overlapped words. Or if there is a main speaker talking, you need to transcribe his/her content, in such case, the other people must speak short or voice is low. The principle is make sure to transcribe out all pure and clear part. This is the basic line. 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Exactly write the same words spoken in the audio file. If some words are inaudible, then tag them as (**). You must transcribe more than 96 % of the speech. 9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All words should be written out in its full form. No abbreviation is accepted; such as mister/misses can be abbreviated as Mr./Ms. in English language. But you will not use any abbreviations. 10.&nbsp; The scripts' file name should be kept as same as the audio's file name, you can copy and paste. File Layout: -Each line represents a different speaker: There should be no line breaks and no blank lines in this indication. When transcribing, the speech utterance of a speaker should be written in one consecutive line without any comma, full stop etc. (check the sample transcript) - There's no need to mention the speakers like male 1, male 2 or male, female etc. &nbsp;
