‘Challenging’ recordings:
• Poor recording - quotations are initially based on clearly recorded audio in an ambient setting but we can often get reasonable transcripts from poor recordings - assessed on receipt.
• Strong accents - we all have our own view on ‘difficult’ accents and what’s difficult for one person may not be for another - transcription where English is not the first language.
