Overview
The Transcription Amendment tool was created in response to a direct client need. The new tool takes the original transcript from a Hearing, the clients' amended transcript in MS Word, does the comparison, lines up the page/line duplicates, and adds this into the amendments table, ready for Opus 2 editors to amend the transcript in Eclipse, or whatever is being used at the time.
Using this tool will reduce errors, increase our client satisfaction as this is a big area of frustration with clients right now, reduce the time and cost for the client to create the Amendments table and reduce the overall time to create an amended transcript.
Audience for this article
Anyone inside Opus 2 who processes Hearings transcripts, typically Production staff.
Prerequisites
Ensure you have both the original transcript from the client as well as the consolidated version with all the agreed changes in it. Both documents must be in MS Word format
Using the tool
Upon receipt of the transcript from the client, do the following:
- Open the Transcript Amendment tool using this URL: https://ta-tool-dev.opus2dev.com/
- Log in using the username opus2 and password tacompare.
- Select anywhere inside the dotted line on the left side and choose the location of the original transcript.
- Select anywhere inside the dotted line on the right side and choose the location of the amended transcript.
- Select Compare Documents.
The tool compares the two documents, resolves duplicates, extracts line and page numbers, and creates the amendment table which appears when the process is complete:
The key at the top explains the colours used in the table to classify the types of amendments. As the image shows, you can get mixed amendment types of, for example, an audio review and an addition.
The table details the location of each amendment by page and line number.
Exporting results
The results table can be exported to both MS Word or Comma Separated Values (CSV) file formats. When exporting to Word, the mixed formats shown above cannot be rendered but otherwise the information is the same.
If you choose the CSV format, the format is as shown below:
