Short answer: No—don’t use sentiment labels unless they are explicitly required for the specific job.
Why:
The current public Transcripts style guides describe only two modes (non‑verbatim vs. verbatim) and the associated rules (e.g., when to include bracketed non‑verbal/audio event tags like [cough], [dog barking]). They do not define or require sentiment/emotion labels, so they are not part of the standard deliverable. (elevenlabs.io)
Productions may include custom style‑guide options on a per‑order basis. Only add anything beyond the standard rules (such as sentiment labels) if the order’s brief or custom style guide explicitly requests it. (elevenlabs.io)
What to do:
Follow the job’s current brief and the Transcripts style guide; include bracketed non‑verbal/audio events only when in verbatim mode (or when the brief requires them). If a brief does not mention sentiment labels, omit them. (elevenlabs.io)
If you need clarification for a specific order, check the Productions order page/brief or reach out via the Productions channel listed in the docs. (elevenlabs.io)
