What are Event Transcripts?

Event transcripts are simply written versions of a live event. They provide a text-based record of the event itself.

Types of Event Transcripts

In AlphaSense, you can find the following types of event transcripts:

Earnings Call - covering company earnings calls.

Company Conference Presentations - covering the presentations a company makes at conferences.

Guidance Transcripts - when a company issues updated or new guidance outside of earnings.

Sales and Trading Announcements

M&A and Special Situations - covering events where a company discusses M&A activities or other key strategic initiatives.

Analyst, Investor, and Shareholder Meetings

Fixed Income Calls - for investors buying corporate debt in the form of bonds.

Prepared Remarks & Follow Ups & Speeches - spot discrepancies and additional updates not discussed in earnings call transcripts.

How to Search Across Event Transcripts

To search across event transcripts, you have three main options, depending on what you are trying to achieve:

• To search across all types of event transcripts, when performing a keyword search, use the quick content filters.

• To search across all types of event transcripts, when performing a ticker search, use the shortcut selection under the ticker name.

• To search across a specific type or even section of an event transcript, for example, Company Conference Presentations, use the Sources Menu via “More Sources” (under Company Docs).

Transcript Versions Explained

All AlphaSense users receive access to the corrected or checked transcript version. Some users will also have access to a raw version of the transcript:

• Raw Version - This becomes available via streaming seconds after the event is completed, representing an automatically captured version without human checking.
• Corrected Version - This version is made available as quality assurance and checks are completed shortly after the event ends.

You can quickly tell which version you are accessing by noting the version description at the top.
