Instagram transcript quality

How to mark uncertain words honestly

When an Instagram transcript is hard to hear, preserve the uncertainty. Use [unclear] to show where the source needs checking.

Why guessing is risky

A guessed name, number, or product term can look grammatical while changing the meaning.

Useful markers

[unclear] when a word is unsupported.
[inaudible] when noise masks it.
[possible: word] for an unconfirmed reading.
[speaker unclear] when the speaker is uncertain.

Verify one focused pass

After an instagram transcript, replay difficult phrases with headphones. Check names, numbers, handles, and words under music first. Keep alternatives outside the quoted transcript.

Final check

Markers point to a time range.
High-risk words received a second listen.
Visual text is not silently replacing speech.
Unconfirmed alternatives stay outside quotes.
