When a nonverbal sound occurs such as a yawning, applauses, music, interjections or a filler word you should always register it by using F8 key
Well eee let's keep working. = Well [use F8 key to register the filler eee] let's keep working.
Never break up a word to register a sound. If the speaker makes the sound in the middle of a word, register it before the word:
I abso * ... RIIIIIIIIIIING ... * lutely agree = I [use F8 key to register telephone ringing] absolutely agree.
Never register two identical sounds without at least one intermediate word, no matter, for example: That the speaker is laughing for several minutes or that there is music playing for several minutes only
What a good joke hahaha You made me laugh. = What a good joke. [use F8 key to register laughins] You made me laugh.
