Generally, the researcher will want to read in and parse
every transcript document separately. The task of
writing the script for multiple transcript documents can
be tedious. This function is designed to make the
process more efficient and less prone to errors.Examples
Run this code(DIR <- system.file("extdata/transcripts", package = "qdap"))
