Interviewers can also quote the candidate and incorporate the text in form responses.

Important!
Do not click "CC" button until you are ready to begin transcribing your audio. Closed captioning will begin transcribing audio as soon as the "CC" is clicked and participants will be able to read any transcription of conversation microphones have picked up.
Best Practice
The following should be considered when using closed captioning:
- Speak slowly and clearly enunciate for a more accurate audio transcription.
- If possible, allow for natural pauses to break up the audio transcription into easier-to-read chunks.
