  • Use [inaudible hh:mm:ss] to indicate words or phrases that are too hard to hear.
  • For words and phrases that you’re not sure about but you’re making a reasonable guess, [put them in square brackets].
  • Use [place] and [name] to indicate places and names that might not be spelled correctly.
  • Use double quotes ” when quoting. Example: She said, “Well, I like that.”
