Just a note about transcription from oral to written: 30 minutes of spoken time takes about 2 or 3 hours of listening and summarizing just for the first draft. ☹️
@Fritillaria2 I transcribed 23 hours of interview material for my dissertation. That nearly killed me.
@bluebirch Holy crap don’t say that. 😳 I’m dyin’ already.
@Fritillaria2 You only have two hours and a half, if I got it right? You'll survive. 😉
@bluebirch Yeah, I’m creeping my way through it. Now I know my limit seems to be around 20 minutes so I can plan my time better. My brain starts shutting down after that.
@Fritillaria2 Everyone does after 20 minutes of transcribing. I seem to remember that I averaged one litre coffee a day during that period. 😉
@bluebirch That’s good to know it’s normal. I didn’t quite make 20 minutes last night, but it took 1.5 hours and my brain was trashed. One more hour... one more hour...
