The Importance Of Doing Professional Transcriptions

By Larry Wright


Considering the whole expansive scope of humanity, writing is a pretty recent development. That is why we have that humongous lost chunk in human history called Prehistory. It really says something about the human enterprise that were already ages away from that time, and instead of cave paintings and fossilized remains, we can count on Professional Transcriptions to do the chronicling for us.

There are many benefits with outsourcing this job from your own operations. First off, with the specialized skill of career transcribers, you will be able to experience lesser turnaround times. Your workflow and productivity will also be much improved.

There are also interview transcriptions. These are pretty much common in businesses, legal cases, research, and even celebrity interviews. These actualities are not as easy as per face value. In this case, the stenographer has to be sagacious and self aware and accordingly plan given certain situations and conditions so that that quality recording and transcribing are ensured.

Theres also legal transcription, taken during legal proceedings. Licensed court reporters perform this during courtroom proceedings. They do so in real time, but now with the nifty assistance of stenotypes and other computer devices.

You might prefer one that is written and copied out Verbatim. This means its laid out in its entirety. And by entirety, we mean that every word, no matter how questionable and inappropriate, and noise, no matter how irrelevant, are stamped out in full. Examples of these are those scripts which parenthesize laughter and other some such actions. This is just the thing with legal proceedings and movie and commercial scripts.

Now, however, there is the proliferation of convenient technology. Starting off in the 1970 s, with the advent of such electronic staples like portable recorders and tape cassettes. This proffered new vistas for the industry, especially in light of the easing and lightening of workloads.

There is also the controversially named Intelligent Transcription. First off, this doesnt at all imply that the first two required little or no intelligence at all. Its just that this type requires copyediting and editorial skills to boot. Then again, it doesnt need to include every insignificant detail word for word, but the final output must read intelligently. This requires maximum perspicacity and skill from its transcriber. Legal documents and certain business outputs are built this way.

So far, that wasnt yet even the heyday of the Speech to Text industry. As always, nothing beats the boons of the Internet Age. Twenty first century denizens have already witnessed the birth of revolutionary technology such as speech recognition. Transcriptionists can already replay the audio as many times as they wish, with the nifty press of a button. In case of comprehension difficulties due to garbled and background sounds, they can even filter and equalize the audio or else adjust the tempo. And also, we are assuredly not yet at Transcriptions golden age.

Above all, and excluding professional and curricular merits, transcriptionists should also have unmitigated adherence to ethical ramifications. After all, transcribing for industrialists, businessmen, and courtroom actors has its own share of sensitive and confidential information. Therefore, the professional transcription should be reliable and trustworthy, before anything else.
