Phonetic transcription is the use of phonetic symbols to document in written form the speech sounds produced by speakers. Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) are expected to apply this tool to assess speech disorders, select intervention approaches and targets, and evaluate treatment outcomes. However, the materials for teaching and assessing transcription skills vary between SLT academic programmes and are often subject to instructors’ own expertise. It is also challenging to include sufficient in-class practice time to build effective transcription skills in students. To address these issues in Ireland, a large-scale shared online resource for direct teaching, self-learning, and assessment is needed but such facility is not available.
