Template Formatting

How to use and follow transcription templates for best results.

Template Formatting

Use the official template provided for each project. If project notes specify a different format, follow those instructions exactly.

#

Standard Template Requirements

  • Font: Arial
  • Font Size: 12
  • Line Spacing: 1.5
  • Speaker Changes: Insert a hard return for each new speaker
  • Verbatim Level: Standard, clean
  • Indentation: Use the ruler function for consistent margins

Important Guidelines

  • Use only the provided template or document. If a custom template is supplied, use it directly and clear any placeholder text.
  • For single-speaker files, use the standard template and speaker identifier unless the file is dictation (in which case, align all text left with no speaker ID).

Consistent formatting ensures transcripts meet professional standards.
