Guidelines on the type of cells to transcribe
| Type of cells Cells | Examples | Transcription |
|---|---|---|
| If the text in the cell is easy to read and transcribe, simply transcribe the content as it appears. |  |
1923 |
| If the highlighted cell covers multiple distinct text regions, adjust the cell boundary by adding new cells according to the table structure and transcribe each distinct text region within its own cell. |  |
Cell 1: 1, Cell 2: 9.16 |
| If the highlighted cell only partially covers a text region, correct the cell boundaries in line with the table structure, then transcribe the text within each corrected cell. |  |
229.18 |
| If a single word or group of words spans across multiple highlighted cells, combine these cells by adjusting boundaries so that each cell contains a single, complete text region. Then, transcribe the text accordingly. |  |
Information |
| If any part of the highlighted text cannot be easily transcribed, transcribe the cell as ‘Å‘. This will alert an expert to review the cell later for clarification. |  |
