    Hi, I tried to do some of Redwood transcriptions but their style guidelines seem a little bit anemic. Anyone know of any extra style rules they have? Thanks in advance!

    The only ones I know of are posted at the top of each hit. They don't have a separate style guide like most transcription requesters have. It's a non-verbatim transcription, so don't type uh, um, or repeated words.

    Thanks! I guess I was overthinking it, as usual! :)

    You're welcome. I know the style guides for some of the other transcription hits are quite extensive, so Redwood's lack of SG takes a little getting used to.

    I just did one. It's only the second redwood hit I've done. The first one wasn't transcription, and though apparently easy, resulted in my being blocked from that sort of hit although it was accepted. I'm kind of worried that I didn't use a question mark where I should have. I don't know that I didn't, it's just something I am worried about now that it's been submitted and there's nothing I can do about it. It took me over a minute to transcribe those one and a half sentences, because I listened to it so many times just to make sure I got it right. Only other transcription I've done is Claritrans/Crowdsurf.
