How Do I Submit a Transcript on the Basis of Track Number?

How Track Numbers Work in Unified Flow

Loom Analytics Web (Beta) automatically reads track numbers from your audio file metadata, making it easy to organize multi-part recordings and create a single, seamless transcript from multiple files.

How to Access Unified Flow:

Log in to your Loom Analytics account.
Click on Loom Analytics Web (Beta) on the navigation bar.
Select your profile.

Uploading Files with Track Numbers

When you upload multiple audio files that contain track number metadata:

Navigate to Loom Analytics Web and select your transcription profile.
On the Upload Audio step, upload all the files from your multi-part recording.
The system will automatically detect track numbers.

Sorting Files by Track Number

To ensure your files are processed in the correct chronological order:

After uploading your files, look for the column named Track.
Click on the Up and Down arrow to enable sorting the dropdown menu.
Select either:
- A to Z - Sorts files in ascending order (Track 1, 2, 3, etc...)
- Z to A - Sorts files in descending order (Track 10, 9, 8, etc...)

Tip: For most transcription purposes, you'll want to use A to Z sorting to ensure the transcript flows chronologically from the beginning of the hearing to the end.

Note: Track numbers can be random numbers and might not match with the files name, but these track numbers should be in a sequential order.

Creating a Merged Transcript

This is the ability to combine multiple audio files into a single, continuous transcript:

After uploading and sorting your files, look for the Combine all files into one transcript button/slider.

Enabling the option will give you a single merged transcript.
Continue through the workflow to Format Settings and Review & Submit.

When you enable this option, you'll receive one complete transcript that covers the entire hearing or proceeding.
