Thanks very much for your comments. That helps a lot. I'll certainly
recommend that we continue on with word-for-word transcription. The
situation we were running into was that the Web site builders had a
manuscript for the text of a clip, say, but when the sound person recorded
it, he changed a few words (e.g., used "I'd" instead of "I would" and so on,
to make the spoken text flow more naturally). So what the builders were
including as the transcript wasn't *exactly* the same as what was in the
actual clip, but very, very close. However, it sounds, from the feedback
I've gotten, that it really isn't acceptable to just say to ourselves, well,
it's close enough.
Thanks again, Lisa Morgan
