Phonetic Transcription



                                                                         

             Phonetic transcription is a system for transcribing sounds that occur in spoken language or signed language. The most widely known system of phonetic transcription, the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), uses a one-to-one mapping between phones and written symbols. The standardized nature of the IPA enables its users to transcribe accurately and consistently the phones of different languages, dialects, and idiolect. The IPA is a useful tool not only for the study of phonetics, but also for language teaching, professional acting, and speech pathology.

  1. The editor needs to assess whether the minutes are clear, easy to read, free of typos, in line with the agreed template. They also need to check that spellings of names and terms agree with the glossary.
