Transcription and reporting system

A web-based transcription and reporting system allows quick transcription of large numbers of utterances and provides reports on the transcription data in logical reports with linked access to underlying data. The system includes time-saving transcription aids such as buttons defining common noise events and anomalies. These transcription aids additionally may be accessed via keyboard shortcuts. Features of the web protocol are included in the transcription process. Reports are generated from the transcribed data meeting a set of reporting criteria. Reports are presented in one of a set of standard forms, wherein all standard forms include drill-down linking to increasingly detailed levels of supporting data.
