Sometimes a "uh" is deliberate in speech but most often we (I) use it when we are thinking of what to say next! I came across a number in a few sentences in a Greg Laurie Sermon like this:
"Because now when we look back on it we probably look back with a certain degree of uh of uh desire to be there again you know."
I did a search of "uh" and Laurie has 4916 "uhs" in 379 articles. Some of them are deliberate and need to be retained, like in the Tim Keller sermons, but many break the flow of reading the sermons.
So my question is whether they actually need to transcribed as part of the sermon.
I would prefer not.
I would think those would be editied out, but from what I know of Logos' transcripting services, they are done overseas and may not have the culturlal/lingual knowledge to know to not add them.
I would think that this would be a good reason for Logos to institute a QA team.
In the Greg Laurie Sermon Archive, the transcriptions were provided to us. (i.e. we did not do the transcriptions ourselves).
In the cases where no transcriptions exist (e.g. Tim Keller, Mobile Ed), they go through a transcription process and are copy edited to A) faithfully reproduce what was said while B) maintaining readability.
Kyle, thanks for explaining the difference. But does that mean you cannot ask that they be removed to "maintain readability"?
as its not common word mabe you could use visual filter (if possible) to blank/remove them in mean time
