Hi, I was just asked to transcribe a twitter chat and I was wondering if someone knew of an app or software that will do that for me? Thanks.

When you say "transcribe" I'm assuming that you are talking about taking all the threads of the chat and put them in some kind of order, right? You might want to take a look at TwitterFall and put in the chat's hashtag (e.g., #transcribechat). It'll give you the timestamps and comments. I would think that you should be able to copy and paste it into a word document and you'll just have formatting to do, but I'm not 100% sure.

I hope that helps.

Unless the client asked for a specific format, I would paste and copy into Word or such. I have done this for myself, in other chat medias. You will need to reformat the text to make it more visually appealing and to have more continuity. Basic editing/ formating skills needed. Good luck!

Thank you so much. You are correct it is taking the chats and creating a document. I will have to reformat. I will take a look at TwitterFall.
