General transcription procedures for transcribing Tibetan language can be found in the Transcription Manual.


Intellectual processing in the form of annotations is necessary to contextualize and interpret the titles. Another benefit of transcription is that one can also add rich annotations to the transcript to provide relevant details on lexical, grammatical, social and other issues pertaining to the title and its language. Once the original speech is transcribed, the transcript then can be translated into relevant target languages. Serious transcription is a difficult and time consuming process and must be done with care. The speech of the finished title should be transcribed in the original language's script and time coded such that each clause or sentence is marked in terms of beginning and end times. However, transcription can be done using even a word processor as long as the conventions listed below are followed and time codes exactly match the A/V title that is being transcribed. THL has adopted InqScribe (pronounced Ink Scribe) as our main transcription solution and we recommend partners use it too.
