verbatim transcription

Verbatim transcription involves converting spoken words into written text exactly as they are spoken, including any pauses, filler words (like "um" or "you know"), repetitions, and speech nuances. The goal is to produce a precise record of the original conversation or speech, preserving the speaker’s natural language, tone, and style. This detailed transcription is often used for research, legal proceedings, or interviews where accuracy and authenticity are important. It differs from summarized or edited transcripts that may omit non-essential parts or clarify language for readability.
