Advantages Of Professional Digital Transcription

Professional digital transcription accurately converts voice-recorded sound into text, providing a written record of what is on the audio recording. It is done by trained transcriptionists who will listen to the recording while typing what is being said into a document. The process does not merely involve typing the utterances heard in the audio file; it is systematic, and can be both phonetic and orthographic depending on the client’s requirements. To ensure accuracy, professional digital transcriptions go through editing and review.

Digital Transcription Versus Traditional Transcription

Digital transcription services that use audio to text programs and software are becoming increasingly popular, although there is still much debate about their efficiency compared to traditional transcription. Audio to text software programs allow automatic transcription of voice recordings to text format; however, they are still limited in terms of features and capabilities. The poor transcription results they generate often have to be transcribed again using traditional methods to ensure accuracy.

Tractors!

One of the projects McGowan Transcription services were recently involved in was transcribing interviews on agriculture machinery. Anyone deluded enough to think that such a project would be plain sailing, think again. Of course we have all heard of Massey Ferguson and John Deere; how difficult could it be?

It soon became apparent that the transcription team had been thrown deep into, er, unploughed territory. Not only are there innumerable makes and models on the market but many interviews were conducted in the depths of the countryside.

Digital Transcription – Digital Dictation -V- Cassettes

After telling my nine year old, while nagging her to prepare for her piano lesson, that practice makes perfect she asked me how long I’d been practising to type to become so fast at it and to be able to type without looking at the keyboard. My initial answer was ‘oh about 10 years or so’ but after working it out it’s more like 19 years – I must be older than I thought!

This got me thinking about how audio transcription has changed during the last 20 years.

When I first started training as a legal secretary we used reel-to-reel dictation and typewriters – remember those? We eventually moved on to basic PCs and standard size cassettes. A few years later when mini cassettes were introduced for dictation we thought they were very high tech. How could it get any better?
