Transcription services in 2020: transcribe audio and video in the text

Be it depositions or court hearings, presentation of audio or video footage as evidence, or witness statements; most legal activities are transcribed quite often to make them more accessible to lawyers, juries, and judges.

Medical and Healthcare transcription

As the documentation of patient information is required in a patient’s file, the recording and transcription of all procedures, notes, and related material are crucial. Thus, transcription services are imperative in the field of medicine

The transcription of materials like class lectures, seminars, videos or other source materials for research papers, and interviews benefits students and academicians alike.

Freelance writers

Freelance writers and editors use transcriptionists to help with their writing process.

Audio and video podcasters transcriptions

Offering a transcription of your podcast gives a choice to those who prefer reading information instead of listening to it. It is also an alternative format for your audience to absorb your material, increasing its reach.

The Transcriptionist role

Atranscriptionist is a professional typist that listens to recorded speech and types what they hear. A professional will insert the required grammar, and intelligently paragraph where necessary within the transcript. Transcription requires tremendous discipline, an ability to actually “hear” what people are saying, and a good grasp of grammar and spelling.

There are a few factors that a transcriptionist have to consider regarding the transcription;

• The speed at which the members of the audio are talking
•  the number of participants within the audio talking (cross talking)
• The clarity of the audio (background noise, interference)
•  The speech clarity of the speakers (accents, mumbling)
•  The transcriptionist has to have the ability to understand the language and accent
• Multitasking is a must as they must be able to listen, understand and type simultaneously.
•  Fast and accurate typing skills are important.
• They have to have the ability to search for information specific to the industry they work in.
•  Fantastic command over language – both formal, as well as colloquial, grammar, and punctuation is key.
• They must have the knowledge of how to format text into client-specific requests.
• Last but not the least a good working knowledge of computers and software programs they need to use to perform the function of transcription is the most important factor that a transcriptionist has to have.

As a part of the human transcriptionist’s role, unlike years ago where commas, full-stops and new paragraphs were dictated, in today’s advanced world, an experienced human transcriptionist will insert the acceptable grammar for you, as a matter of course during typing.

There are numerous speech recognition software in the market that claim to offer transcriptions in a matter of minutes but are they accurate? I don’t think that speech recognition software can replace human transcriptionists as they won’t be able to recognize every accent and will miss important information. Sure they may be able to offer you a fast turnaround time but our transcription experts guarantee high accuracy, that is something a software simply cannot do at this time. Feel free to reach out to see how we can provide the most professional transcription services at the most competitive pricing.

Why Servixer?

Finally coming to the point of this entire blog. (Flashback to when I said the elaboration would be “little”).

Transcription is arguably one of the easiest but best-paying jobs on the internet right now. You can easily make an income of over $100 per assignment.

Research shows that using transcription services may save hours on writing. And while it helps many professions specialize in new areas to grow awareness and education and is increasingly required for sharing media and knowledge, the matter is that there are a lot of choices. Choosing a transcription service has never been harder. Which is why I’m here to make it easy for you (thank me later).
