Wednesday Journal

Wednesday : Reflect upon the transcription work that you are doing. Is this an interesting process to you, and why? Did you learn anything new about the interview that you missed when you were involved in it? If so, what? Do you enjoy transcribing? If yes, why? If no, why?

I thought it was pretty interesting, mainly because I had never interviewed anyone before. I learned that my voice is kind- of annoying and that I could've introduced more topics from what my interviewee was saying. Transcribing isn't very fun, considering you have to go from writing to your interview to recording about every sentence. Also, if they string sentences together you have to find a way to word it correctly while still staying true to what they said.

  1. Awareness of the fact that the way we speak is different from the way we write is a valuable insight for any writer.
