Copy the Spreadsheet Template
Step 1: Copy the Spreadsheet Template
- Here is a Blank Transcript Starter Template to help you get started.
- Make a copy of the template by clicking on the link above and then clicking the “Make a Copy” button.
- Give your transcript a simple name, preferably
lastname_firstname(i.e.doe_jane). - For naming this and other files:
- do not use spaces
- use only lower case characters for the file name and the extension
- do not use special characters like:
?,%,#,/,:,,and‘ - for more characters to avoid and general rules, see here
- Go to the next step by clicking the button on the right below. We will use this blank template in step 3.
It’s less important to get the naming exactly in the Google Sheet now, as you’ll need to rename the spreadsheet later when you download it as a CSV file. But it’s good practice to follow these conventions.
