    He guys, got question about Nonverbatim for SpeechInk. (gotta ask because I can't get any reply on SpeechInk at all...)

    1) It says: "If there are more than two speakers, please use the speakers' names if you know them and this should always be followed by a colon and two spaces before typing what is being said."

    What if there are multiple speakers and you don't know their names? They said to never use Q: or A:... so I don't know what I should use if I don't know the name of the speakers.

    2) Is there a guideline about cutting paragraphs? Like CastingWords 400 character max or 8 line long max. Or you don't have to cut the paragraphs at all?

    Thanks in advance,
    John

    It's been a while since I've done SpeechInk stuff, but IIRC I would always just label speaker 1, speaker 2. I cut paragraphs whenever I felt like they needed to be cut and never had an issue with it.
