If you supply your transcriptionist with a poor quality recording it may result in a poor transcription. Regardless of how good or important the information contained within your recording is you need to discover how to record properly.
Using the right equipment for the event you are recording is important and may require more than a mobile phone or Dictaphone. The event you are recording and the equipment you are using will determine the quality of the audio
Ensure your recording playback is clear
Assess what you are recoding and determine if you require a single microphone or multiple microphone setups. Pound for pound Dictaphones tend to be the cheapest but only useful for simple dictations The time a transcription takes to complete depends on a few factors such as the length of the audio file, audio quality and the number of people speaking.
What different transcription services exist
Medical, verbatim, legal and medical transcription services are available to provide the market with the necessary services so be sure to work with the specialist that right for you.
Finding the right transcription services for your take requires picking the right service and thankfully most can be worked out based on their service name. Although you may notice a few service names which may not be clear like. verbatim and PACE.
The name verbatim doesn’t give many clues at all.Verbatim transcriptions are highly detailed and contain an exact time stamp and include ever em, er, cough, burp etc! Verbatim transcriptions unlike its name is the most specific of all the transcription services which includes each em, er, cough etc
PACE is an acronym for Police and criminal evidence interviews (you hear them talk about it on CSI) and transcription services that is mainly used by Solicitors, Police Force, Enforcement organisations, Emergency Services, Security, Human Resource, Government bodies, Coast Guard, etc. PACE uses a verbatim format.
