== Basics of Editing == | |||
We have developed a style guide to keep our transcripts consistent. Here are the basics. | |||
* We use a clean verbatim style. This means filler words (ums/uhs) and repeated words when they do not add extra meaning (and, and , and ...) are removed. | |||
* Add notes in brackets for things that happen in video but don't translate to audio. | |||
* No indent on paragraphs | |||
* In your text editor, leave an empty paragraph between existing ones | |||
* Timestamp on top, italicized, shift+enter for line break (not paragraph break from regular enter) | |||
* For speaker tags: full speaker name (first + last), bolded with a colon. | |||
* For multiple paragraphs by the same speaker, only the first should have a speaker tag | |||
* Add section headings | |||
Be sure to review our style guide for everything in detail with examples. | |||
== Three Passes == | |||
# Edit in Otter | |||
# Edit in GDocs while listening | |||
# Edit in GDocs again | |||
== When finished == | |||
Tell us! We'll look it over and put it on the blog. | |||
Paste it onto the wiki. Note that | |||
* Timestamps must be followed by a <code><br></code> tag to insert the linebreak. | |||
* Perform a find/replace operation with each speaker name, replacing the speaker name with the name surrounded by three tick marks. So <code>Eric Weinstein:</code> is replaced <code>'''Eric Weinstein:'''</code>. | |||
* Add the necessary markup around section headings. Keep in mind heading levels may differ between the Google doc and the wiki, all that needs to be preserved is. | |||
