Summary
The aim of this toolkit is to help you plan properly for transcribing, and save you time by helping you do your transcribing more efficiently.
This toolkit deals with transcribing your own, or your team’s, data. If you are considering sending your data to somebody else or an external transcribing agency, see our toolkit on outsourcing transcribing (coming soon).
The toolkit includes advice on project planning for transcribing, tips for good quality recordings, advice on equipment and software and suggestions to help you save time while transcribing. Plus you can also use our spreadsheet to work out how long your transcribing will take and watch our mini-tutorial to show you how to add line numbers to your transcript.
