Transcript notation

**Transcript notation**

Transcript notation refers to the standardized system of symbols and formatting used to represent spoken language in written form. This notation is essential for accurately capturing speech, conversations, interviews, or any verbal communication in transcripts. It includes conventions for indicating pauses, intonation, overlapping dialogue, emphasis, and non-verbal sounds, ensuring clarity and consistency for readers or researchers analyzing the text. Commonly used in fields like linguistics, media, legal documentation, and accessibility services, transcript notation helps transform audio or video content into a precise and readable record.
