Drs. Charles Vanover, Mariaelena Bartesaghi, and Silvana di Gregorio discuss contemporary approaches to transcription. In the first half of this free webinar, they will discuss how to use machine-generated transcription to develop rich first drafts of transcripts. The automated process they describe allows qualitative researchers to reduce time spent in hand transcription while providing abundant opportunity to engage with data.
In the second half of the webinar, Charles Vanover then provides how-tos for narrativizing transcribed text. Mariaelena Bartesaghi discusses the theory and practice of transcription of spoken discourse in discourse studies, focusing on the problems of why we should transcribe features of talk, how much talk to transcribe, and the material difference these decisions make to our analyses. Silvana di Gregorio discusses new research designs for taking advantage of the time savings and responsiveness of automated transcription.
