Editing tips

Speaker names

  • Fix speaker names early in the process
  • Use consistent naming throughout the transcript
  • Mark interviewer vs. respondent clearly
  • Correct names improve report quality significantly

Text corrections

  • Fix obvious transcription errors
  • Add missing words or context
  • Correct grammar if it affects meaning
  • Preserve the original meaning while improving clarity

Best practices

Fix speaker names before generating reports. Incorrect speaker identification can significantly impact report accuracy.
Review transcripts soon after generation while the interview is fresh in your memory.
Focus on fixing errors that affect meaning. Minor typos that don’t change interpretation can be left as-is.
