How do I create a transcript of my best recording?
You are here because you have a final audio recording you feel is worthy of submitting as proof of your ACC-level coaching. The assessors require the audio recording AND a correctly formatted written transcript of what was said on the recording. Both files need to be submitted to us to perform your ACC-level performance evaluation.
This is what THE ICF requires for your transcript.

Please review the following guidelines for the recorded coaching session transcript to be submitted for assessment for your Credential application.
- The transcript must be a word-for-word (verbatim) record of the coaching session(s), submitted in the language in which the session is held.
- The Transcript must indicate who is speaking—using the label of “Coach” or “Client”—at all time in the conversation. NOTE: Default labels of S1 and S2 are NOT acceptable.
- List the coach’s statements and the client’s statements on separate lines of the transcript.
- The transcript must include timestamps at every change in speaker (with the “Coach” label and “Client” label).
- Transcript must be submitted as a Word document (e.g., .doc, .docx). No other file formats will be accepted.
Example:
There are many services that offer the ability to transcribe your recording.
No matter what service you use, be sure to proofread every line and correct the text to exactly match the audio recording.
We have prepaid for this service for you. One-time use. Submit your final audio file through this link.
IMPORTANT: You must ONLY submit an AUDIO file. Not a VIDEO. An audio file typically ends in MP3, WAV, MP4, M4A, or OGG. If your file is a video, then you need to strip the audio portion off the video. A free and simple service that is located at https://online-audio-converter.com/. Use the standard or Economy settings.

Please review your transcript and ensure that the transcript clearly states who is speaking, Client/Coach,h and update any S1/S2 from the document.
