Italian interview transcription is usually most useful when clitics, elision, proper names, and natural sentence boundaries survive the move from speech to text. Choose it for predominantly Italian audio, then use the full clause—not a single waveform fragment—to decide punctuation and resolve fast connected speech.

What to expect from Italian audio
Italian spelling is relatively transparent, but fast connected speech, elision, clitics, and regional pronunciation can still create uncertain boundaries. The practical review targets are clitics, elision, names, regional words, numbers, and sentence boundaries. Clitic sequences and names can be ambiguous when speech is fast or speakers overlap.
Review the details that carry meaning
Punctuation and sentence boundaries are editorial output and should be checked against meaning. Use word-level playback for clitics, elision, names, regional words, numbers, and sentence boundaries; a correction is accepted only when the surrounding clause and project convention support it.
