Numbers
Symbol #
Definition

The highlighting of numbers in a transcription with the hash mark [#] to make later analysis easier.

Description

All numbers are written out alphabetically, NOT numerically: twenty, nine, fifteen, etc. As is standard in regular typography, numbers, which are written as two words with a hyphen between them, such as twenty-two and thirty-three, are still hyphenated. However, this applies only for two digit numbers. Three digit numbers are not hyphenated.

The hash mark [#] will always appear at the beginning of the word. Only one mark is necessary for hyphenated cases.

Examples

1. 1. #two #hundred and #thirty-three .

2. I believe there will be #fourteen of us .

3. shall we meet on the #fifteenth of May ?

4. we will be here at #one o'clock then .

5. my phone number is #two #six #eight #fourteen #hundred .

6. #two #hundred #thousand #forty-four .
