Greetings,
I've recently been assigned to a client of ours who has us transcribe various audio records of interviews related to ongoing investigations.
I'm fairly sure I recall some people on BG being involved in similar procedings, so if possible, could someone provide me with some insight into what would be required of both the interviewee and the interviewer in regard to speaking clearly?
Currently, I'm checking a transcription with an unusually high amount of phrases being marked as "inaudible", which I'm not entirely sure would be acceptable for the client. I listened to the parts myself (total of about 150 for an interview of about 5 hours) and, at least to me, they're not clear enough to be transcribe them without having to guess, if at all.
My question would be whether this would be the usual procedure in this case or if we'd definitely need someone who can make sense of what is being said.
I'm fairly sure that expectations regarding this probably vary based on the client, but I'd like to hear what would be the most common one.
Thank you in advance for any help!
