For transcription tasks, we must transcribe the contracted words whenever the speaker utters them.
Examples of some common contractions:
- Cannot = Can't
- Have not = Haven't
- Do not = Don't
- Does not = Doesn't
Examples of use:
Suppose you have audios that say:
"I can't reach that book, can you help me please?"
"I haven't seen this movie, and you?"
"He doesn't have a sport bicycle"
"I don't want to go to that restaurant, I prefer another one"
Since a good orthography is a reflect of a high quality job, it's important that you pay attention to all the details. For contractions, make sure you include the apostrophe.
It would be incorrect to transcribe:
- [00:00:00] I cant reach that book, can you help me please? X
- [00:00:00] I cannot reach that book, can you help me please? X
- [00:00:00] I havent seen this movie, have you. X
- [00:00:00] I have not seen this movie, have you. X
- [00:00:00] He doesnt have a sport bicycle. X
