Minimal Annotation Guidelines

Depending on the particular editing environment, please try to adhere to the following annotation rules as much as possible:

• full correct letter casing + punctuation
• one line per sentence
• handling of numbers and abbreviations is unclear; the following options seem equally good, but try to be consistent:
  • spelled out (write down these words to the transcript): forty four, Czech Tech (if the abbreviation was not spelled letter by letter ["C-T-U"])
  • condensed (write down abbreviations to transcripts): 44, CTU
  • In any case avoid expanding what was said, so do not write Czech Technical University when the person said CzechTech
