What Is Oral History Transcription?
Oral history transcription captures spoken recollections of individuals — their stories, experiences, memories. These often include:
- Long, conversational formats
- Narratives with emotional content
- Local place names, dialects & slang
- Non-verbal cues (pauses, laughter, sighs)
Style Options
- Full Verbatim – every detail, all pauses, hesitations, emotions
- Clean / Edited – retains narrative but removes unnecessary fillers for smoother reading (recommended)
Include speaker labels, timestamps, researched names/place names.
