Have you ever noticed that it is very natural for us human to tell a story when you're talking and having an interesting conversation with someone. Did you notice the tone, pause and feelings you tend to use when you are talking???  It is a very natural process after all....

 However, when you turn this natural event into something new such as transcribing, a new world will be open to you. Imagine having need to write the whole things of what people discuss for example, into a piece of paper (well, this is a very traditional methods) or typing it you will think and feel that humans interaction is a whole lot interesting that you can imagine. This is because when you transcribe the interaction in a classroom perhaps, you need to see and listen and give your fullest attention to grasp and receive properly what the content of the "interaction".

Transcribing that I experienced is writing every single things that happen in the 1 minute YouTube video which end up to be 20 minutes writing. Imagine that, but of course it is very natural again because in just 1 minute people actually didn't realizes that they use lots of different tone, language (simple sentences and complex sentences), pause and a lots more. There is a system create to simplify the transcribing process such as using a symbol of (T) to symbolize a teacher.

It's takes time and patient to transcribe because every detail need to be detailed. Why not trying to transcribe some of the YouTube video especially "teacher and students discussion" for some experience. It will surely help you to be patient and more analytical person to a certain extent. Enjoy!!!
