Hi Ramon. You can get software such as Express Scribe, The FTW Transcriber, Inqscribe, Sonix, SpeedScriber, and OTranscribe while going to their website and downloading them. Few of these offer free versions also.

Whether complete or incomplete, every sentence should be transcribed. For an incomplete sentence, you can put a double dash at the end to signify the sentence is incomplete.

A telephone interpreter can be very handy as they are accurate, low cost, convenient, and easy to use. In addition, they work well if you have a small project.

They both should have ample knowledge of the subject matter. I hope this helps! - Thanks, Minnie

I usually transcribe medical files, however, If I were to guess how Q and A format goes, it would look like this: Q: What is your favorite color? A: Purple Would that be correct???
Comment:
Yes, that is a great way to format a Q & A style transcription. However, it would be best to use the speaker’s names instead of Q & A as the speaker labels unless that is specifically requested. Many transcription companies have their own rules on how they want interviews formatted, so you would like to check with the company or your client to verify that you produce the transcript in the format they want. Thanks, Minnie

There are many ways that this can be transcribed, and the punctuation can vary. It is best to consult your client to make sure you follow the formatting they want. We would put the story in quotation marks and the speaker's interjections in parentheses. For example: Speaker: I am going to read you a story. “Once upon a time, in a land far away (oh, I can’t believe this is how the story starts), there lived a purple pig (oh my goodness, how silly) who had no friends…. The end.” How did everyone like that story? - Thanks, Minnie

Hi, There are no guidelines for the practice tests. But we do take the formatting style sheet into consideration. Thanks, Minnie.
