A User’s Guide to Palantype /
Verbatim Reporting
Reading the Text
- If you don't understand a word, carry on reading and try to make
sense of the whole sentence.
- All remarks contained within {curly brackets} are unspoken comments
added by the Verbatim Reporter to help you follow what is happening.
For example {laughter}.
- The special symbol "{correction}" may sometimes be used
and means that the Verbatim Reporter has corrected an error and you
should ignore one or two words immediately before it. Sometimes you
may find that these words are difficult to read anyway. For example,
".... that comes on whether {correction} whenever the...."
or, "or ca ring {correction} carrying out..."
- If the Verbatim Reporter cannot hear the speaker clearly they may
intervene in an attempt to improve the situation. However, in some
circumstances this may not be possible or desirable, and in this case
they will simply inform the reader. For example, {inaudible}.
- If the, "...." symbol is used by the Verbatim Reporter it
denotes that the speech has trailed off, or the speaker has not
completed the current sentence. For example, "It was a difficult
time and when he.... of course in those days....".
- Mistakes or unusual words not in the Verbatim Reporters dictionary
may be occasionally displayed as separate syllables, or as a series of
shorter words. It often helps to mentally join these together if they
don't look right. For example, "an tag nice" = antagonize
"chari ri tee" = charity "Mo gull" = mogul.
If you have time, it may be helpful to look back and re-read a
section of the transcript that was difficult to follow. Remember that
the display shows 20 seconds or more of speech.
