Transcription--

  • The NCNS does not provide its own transcription services. It does keep a list of transcriptionists and will download audio datasets and mail them for transcription. This process generally involves 4 days of processing-and-travel time and approximately 3 hours of transcription time per hour of data. Sometimes, transcriptionists are unable to start work immediately on a project because of previous commitments. Therefore, those needing this service are advised to check in with the Center (ncns@uwyo.edu or 766-6821) sufficiently far ahead of time to allow their data to be transcribed in a timely manner. Mailers and CDs should be supplied by the researcher and she/he should indicate at the time of the work request the person or grant to whom the transcriptions should be charged.
