“Favourite” is the most difficult word to spell across the English-speaking world, according to our research of Google’s search data. Runners-up include “definitely” and “diarrhoea” (which is spelled ‘diarrhea’ in the United States). These results take into account common search trends across countries that speak English as a first-language. Including the United Kingdom, United States,

Don’t forget to ask permission to record! Consider your device: It is best to conduct cloud calls on a laptop, desktop or tablet device rather than a smartphone. Sound quality will be better and access to advanced features of the cloud-based platform will be more readily available and easier to use via a larger screen/device.

When utilised properly, meetings are a great way to unite the focus of a team and keep everyone updated on important information. On top of that, they can also improve morale and efficiency throughout the staff. However, when meetings are poorly handled or even too frequent, people start to see them as a waste of time. We can’t blame them. In fact, research shows they’re not in the minority…

We encounter a variety of recordings in the course of our day – some are audio files, some are videos, some are recorded indoors, some outside or in large public spaces. We have interviews that are recorded as one-to-one, face-to-face conversations and also tele-depths where researchers converse with respondents located in remote parts of the world. We receive recordings of large meetings where everyone talks at once and presentations and webinars with Q&A sessions. The subject matter or our transcriptions is wide-ranging, from market research to private memoirs and we also delve into the worlds of medicine and law.

Meetings have become an integral – and often unavoidable – part of our professional lives, irrespective of the sector in which we operate. Whether conducted over video conference or face-to-face in the archetypal boardroom, most of us will spend at least some of our working week attending them. Business meetings can be occasional or, in the case of large corporations, monthly as the board of directors convenes to discuss company direction of travel, financial objectives and to review the previous month’s targets. Problems affecting the day-to-day operation of the business will be raised and discussed, and projected future threats potentially identified before they occur. In short, they are vital to the smooth execution of business process.
