Great question! We aim for readability over accuracy in those circumstances. It does not have to be verbatim, especially with "uhms", "ahhs", and other pause words/sounds.

Good thinking, but that isn't a problem we've had just yet. 😄

I could see an issue down the road, especially with the most recent episodes being more popular to work on than the older ones, but for now just go ahead and dive in. If there are conflicts we'll merge 'em and figure out a way to avoid in the future.

do we get to claim episodes ?

What do you mean by 'claim episodes', @brucellino?

Sorry, should have been a bit more explicit. I mean somehow announce 'yo everyone, I got this episode, so hold off your contribs at least until I send my PR, ok ?'
Feels like otherwise it might be a bit of a conflictfest.

@jdillard good thinking! I added that to the README for easy access. ✊

Hi!

I had a quick question on repeated phrases when updating a transcript. For instance, if the interviewee kind of stumbles and says "Yeah, I have some... some thoughts on that." Do you want that noted or just leave it as "Yeah, I have some thoughts on that."?

Essentially, I am trying to gauge how exact you want the transcript to be with repeated phrases, "uh"s, "um"s, etc.

Currently, it is "Yeah, I have some thoughts on that." in the transcript. (Changelog-350 when Yaw Anokwa starts talking)

Thank you!
