If you want to post the actual audio clip here is how you can do that.

Here is what the Total Recorder (TR) window looks like.  I like Total Recorder (pro version) because I can do other things with it.  I can take a long audio file and split it up in several short files.  Each audio segment can be programmed to start a couple seconds earlier than where the split is.  This comes in handy when sharing jobs with others. Sometimes it is tedius to send somebody a long 8-hour recording.  You can split it up into segments.

Also, Total Recorder converts .WAV files into .MP3 files.  .WAV files are very huge and take longer to upload when sending.  .MP3 go much faster when uploading.  So this is another cool bonus with TR.  You pay the 35 bucks and have free uploads for life.  I like TR, and it's a tax writeoff, of course.  LOL

Notice the RECORD (red circle) and STOP (square) buttons on the bottom right-hand corner of this window, with the FILE tab located in the upper left-hand corner at the top.

I highly recommend TR over Audacity; however, both can record just fine.

Or could he be saying something like "known as GSK"?

Was he saying Novartis???

Makes total sense.  I too would have gone with Mans.  But it did get me thinking (which is a dangerous thing).  I'm soooo tempted to change it to be the correct way.  It has nothing to do with the lawsuit, just a list of things.  Kind of like changing "a apple" to "an apple" in my book.

The name of the restaurant is The Ginger Man.  They're talking about multiple locations.  Technically, what should it be?  The Ginger Mans?  The Ginger Men?  They referred to it both ways in my transcript (blech), so I have to report what they said, but it got me thinking which one is the correct one?

I know I've never used "wanna" in a transcript.  Don't think I've ever even heard it.  Quick check with SearchMaster shows I've used "gonna" twice and it was always the witness.

Sometimes even the attorneys say it in such a way that "going to" looks artificial.  I do use it when it just screams for it.  Like "gotcha."  "Ah, got you" just doesn't cut it.

I've long resisted using them, but I've slipped in a few "gonna"s recently, but only when I felt that the speaker knowingly used it.  I probably wouldn't have an attorney or a judge saying it in a transcript.

I use gonna -- sparingly (I don't hear it often) -- and wanna never.

What's everyone's thoughts on using "gonna" and "wanna" in a transcript instead of "going to" and "want to"?
