: Re: How do you transcribe a person's tone (i.e. someone whose speech is rude and/or attacking)? I've been having great difficulty with transcribing an individuals "tone" in my meeting notes!! For

I don't do transcripts, but speaking as a layperson, what you've written already seems to communicate a strident tone on part of EA. If you can get away with [angry], you might be able to get away with [strident], but if I were you I would err on the side of JKim and defer to their expertise.

Even "EA scoffs and visibly rolls her eyes" struck me as a little over the top, though again, take my reply with a pinch of salt. What I can say with relative certainty is that if you put too much emphasis on the poor conduct of the opposing counsel, people may infer that you aren't being impartial. Remember, we all have biases, and which facts you omit can be just as important as which facts you include. How many of B's facial expressions are you documenting? Mind you, I'm not saying EA was in the right, just urging caution.
