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. ☹️

Yes, I'm going to try the transcription feature on my voice recording app, but I don't have much hope in its efficacy. Even I don't understand the casual jargon and acronyms tossed around in this group. I suspect an app would just annoy me, but I'm giving it a try next meeting.

PS This is me in avoidance mode. Back into the transcription mines y'all.

@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...
