Abstract: One variation of a method for transcribing spoken language includes: during a first time period, receiving a first gesture from a user at a user interface of a computing device, capturing a first segment of an audio recording during human speech by the user, transcribing the first segment of the audio recording into a first text sequence, and formatting the first text sequence in a first text format according to the first gesture; compiling the first text sequence, in the first format, into a structured textual document; populating the structured textual document with a set of text flags; linking each text flag, in the set of text flags, to a keytime in the audio recording; identifying a recipient of the structured textual document; and transmitting the audio recording and the structured textual document to a second computing device associated with the recipient.
