Transcription Tips For Craftsmanship
- Rule 17
a Before ft
When ft follows the letter a, the vowel is long.

Here. Craftsmanship /ˈkrɑːfts.mən.ʃɪp/
- Rule 3
Mark The Stressed Syllable
When a word has more than one syllable, the primary stress marker must be placed before the stressed syllable. It is wrong to write /lɔː.jə/ without the stress marker.
lawyer /ˈlɔː.jə/
Here. Craftsmanship /ˈkrɑːfts.mən.ʃɪp/

Stress Mark Replaces The Dot
Do not place a syllable boundary marker where the stress marker appears. /ðeɪ.ə.naʊ.ˈhɪə/ is not acceptable.
They are now here /ðeɪ.ə.naʊˈhɪə/
Here. Craftsmanship /ˈkrɑːfts.mən.ʃɪp/
