== Editing Process == Some people prefer doing the majority of their editing and corrections in Otter, while others prefer Google Docs. Both are necessary, but you are free to use them as best suits your preferences. The general process follows these steps: # Edit in Otter, focusing on matching text to the correct speaker and correcting obvious errors as convenient. # Export to Google Docs when finished. # Edit in Google Docs while listening to the source material, correcting major errors and adding paragraph breaks and new timestamps where necessary. # Edit in Google Docs again, fine tuning grammar and punctuation. Leave comments where you're uncertain on what is being said. Search online for terms or phrases that you don't know, Google can usually find most of them. Search for song lyrics or exact quotes in order to mirror how they were originally written. For guidance on typesetting mathematics, see our style guide. === Tips for Otter === [[File:OtterExportOptions.png|thumb|right|Options to use when exporting from Otter.]] * Export as text to your clipboard, and paste it into a new Google Doc. * Wait to make sure that Otter has finished "matching speakers" before exporting. * [https://help.otter.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360047731754-Edit-a-conversation Otter's Editing Guide] * [https://help.otter.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360047733634-Export-conversations Otter's Export Guide] === Tips for Google Docs === [[File:GDocsSmartQuotes.png|thumb|right|The smart quotes option in Preferences.]] [[File:GDocsSubstitutions.png|thumb|right|The automatic substitution option in Preferences.]] * Disable smart quotes in Preferences * Disable substitutions in Preferences * Use heading level 3 as your highest heading level.
