The following three scenarios are common in transcription, which of the below
statements is TRUE?A) You are transcribing two people chatting at a
restaurant about an upcoming election.
A waiter comes up and takes their order. You do not transcribe the dialogue
between the two speakers and waiter because it is irrelevant to the main topic.
B) You are transcribing an interview where the interviewer is on the phone
with an interviewee. At one point, the interviewer mutes the call and has a
short conversation with someone in the room with him who does not speak at
any other point in the file, and their conversation has nothing to do with the
interview. You do not transcribe this side conversation.
C) You are transcribing a group of adults chatting at a barbecue about their
children's education. You can clearly hear an argument between a few children
in the background, but they do not speak to the adults nor do the adults
acknowledge their quarrel. You do not transcribe the children because they do
not interact with your main speakers in the file.
