GETTING YOUR TRANSCRIPT FROM THE TRANSCRIPTION PROGRAM TO YOUR DOCUMENT

If you have transcribed in CLAN or Transana, you have two options for getting your transcript into your word processor or onto your slides: by simply copying and pasting from the transcription window, or by taking a screen shot and inserting the image (the latter is a good idea when adding transcripts to slides, as you will avoid annoying changes in format).


                GET TO IT: Inserting transcriptions in your documents

If you choose to copy and paste, you need to remember to add line numbers to your transcript once you paste it into your document. You might also want to simplify the transcript (e.g. hide or remove GEM coding if you used CLAN, see below) and change the font (standard fonts are CAFont or Courier).

The following is an example of a finished transcript in a word processor:





If you choose to take a screen shot (print screen in Windows or cmd+á+4 in Mac) to insert as an image in your document, and you are using CLAN, you should hide any GEM coding first. Do this  by clicking Mode  Hide tiers (Esc+4). When asked Show, hide or reset tiers? type in h and click enter.



When asked list tiers to hide, write @bg @eg and click enter. Take the screen shot, then, choose to insert the picture in your document.
