Order Instructions help our transcript editors caption your content more efficiently and accurately. They typically include additional instructions for the transcript editor working on your content. For example, they can provide the editor with speaker names and specialized acronyms in the transcript. Order Instructions can either be attached as a PDF or provided as unformatted plain text and can be applied at the file, batch, folder, or project level.
| Note: If you have requests that deviate from 3Play's style guide, you should contact your account manager or support@3playmedia.com to discuss these. |
Default Order Instructions can be added at the FOLDER or PROJECT level:
- PROJECT level Order Instructions apply to ALL content uploaded to this project as well as the project's pending files.
- When Order Instructions have been added at the FOLDER level, ONLY the content uploaded to that folder as well as its pending files will be associated with the Order Instructions.
-
- If you have default project Order Instructions, they will be overwritten by the default folder Order Instructions.
-
- Order Instructions may also be added or edited for individual files while a file is still in the pending state.
Folder or Project level Order Instructions can be added before uploading! Instructions for an individual file can only be added immediately after uploading and while the file is in the pending state.
| Note: All files uploaded to your account are treated as content to be transcribed. Billing is based on the full duration of each file. Please note that we aren’t able to follow Order Instructions about which sections to include or exclude from transcription. |
