Transcribing Tips & Tricks

If you’re new to transcribing EOIR/DOJ, please take some time to watch this video and download the corresponding EOIR Transcriber Tips&Tricks document below.  It covers autocorrects for speaker IDs and terms unique to DOJ, which should increase your speed and accuracy.  The video also gives a brief overview of Express Scribe, the audio software used for DOJ transcribing.

PLEASE NOTE: The video also gives a brief overview of Express Scribe.  Up until February 2021, this was NCC’s standard transcription audio player for EOIR/DOJ and this video (recorded in 2019) reflects that.  NCC has since moved to RCPlayer as its standard for EOIR/DOJ transcription.  The processes shown in the video for Express Scribe are similar to RCPlayer.  Please reference the RCPlayer instruction manual for more details on how to use that player.
