Reduct Transcription Guidelines - Format of Transcripts

At Reduct Nepal, we strive to provide transcripts of the highest quality, and our goal is to provide maximum accuracy and readability. Here are some general pointers. Please note that there might be instances that are not covered by the guidelines. In such cases, use your own judgement and write what you feel is correct :

• Try to ensure that your transcripts are grammatically accurate and follow basic grammatical rules.

• If you have any doubt or hesitation, always contact a member of our QA team to try and clarify your doubt.

• If you hear a phrase or a word that you might not have heard, it might be beneficial to either have a look at the chat box on the right side, or google it.

• If you encounter a term or phrase that is uncommon, please type it in the chat box, along with any supporting information or links when necessary. This will help other transcribers who are working on the same order.

• Please keep paragraphs between 3 to 4 lines, as this greatly aids the proofreading (audio review) process.

• Once you have completed the quickfire, do a quick read through of the entire transcript to correct any typos and add punctuation marks where necessary. Save your work and then only mark it green.

• Try to avoid common transcription mistakes like these.
