More Info On:

A One-on-One interview is one person interviewing another person (e.g. a sit-down interview). The interviewee's responses are transcribed verbatim. The interviewer's questions are paraphrased for clarity.

We provide two types of verbatim transcripts for One-on-One Interviews.

Clean Verbatim - the content of the interviewee's responses are verbatim, but we omit the non-verbal utterance such as 'uh..' and 'uhm..', 'double- doubled' words and 'st-st-stutters'.
True Verbatim - the 'uhms and uhs', 'stu-stutters' and other non-verbal utterances of the interviewee are transcribed.

Note for TV & Film Clients: For finished, edited shows see TV 'as broadcast' or Film Continuity

Time coding is available as an option if your materials are submitted on DVD, digital video files, or VHS with a visible timecode window burn (BITC). We can also accept audio files with audible SMPTE timecode on one of the channels.

Programming today is a race between software engineers stirring to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.
