Hi,
I'm Daniele from Italy.
I thank you for the possibility you give to me to ask in this forum. I try to be as clear and short as possible. Forgive me for my simple English.
I'm a transcriber. I listen audio and I transcribe. The kind of transcription is a dialogue, like an interview. This is the output:
SPEAKER ONE - Bla bla bla.
SPEAKER TWO - Bla bla bla.
SPEAKER ONE - Bla bla bla.
SPEAKER TWO - Bla bla bla.
...and so on...
During the job I have to type really fast, almost in realtime, and could happen I confuse the speaker, and I press the wrong shortcut to insert the speaker name, like this:
SPEAKER ONE - Bla bla bla.
SPEAKER ONE - Bla bla bla.
SPEAKER ONE - Bla bla bla.
SPEAKER TWO - Bla bla bla.
This is a mistake I cannot check using Spellchecker. Basically if the first 9 characters of a paragraph are the same of the first 9 characters of the next paragraph, for sure I made a mistake.
Once I finished to type, is it possible to check the whole document with a macro? To check if the the first 9 characters of a new paragraph are the same of the first 9 characters of the next paragraph. This for all the paragraph, and inform me when it matches, so I can fix.
Let me also say that until the speaker doesn't change, I don't press ENTER, so the paragraph is always the same. Only when the new speaker speaks, I change paragraph pressing ENTER, so each new paragraph correspond to a new speaker.
I thank yoy very very much foro any suggestion.
Good holidays!
Daniele.
