Add Conference Call Transcription to Your List of Transcription Services

Conference call transcription is a type of business or general transcription work can come from just about any type of client-small one-owner businesses, corporate clients, non-profits and even academic. With the advancement of communication technology, a lot of people are having their conferences via telephone and the conferences are recorded.

Since so many people work remotely from a home office or they're in a position where they travel frequently, conference calls are a pretty standard of way of having meetings today. Teleconferencing also makes it more practical and convenient for managers, employees and other staff from several company branch office locations to meet regularly without having to incur travel expenses.

Conference calls can be set up with internal teleconferencing software through the company's internal communications network or outsourced to telecommunication companies who can also provide an operator to monitor the incoming calls. The conferences are then recorded so participants can have the audio files to refer back to after the meeting. A lot of companies also prefer to have the conference calls transcribed so they can be printed out and used for meeting notes and minutes or for inclusion in company bulletins and newsletters.

Teleconference audios are normally of very high quality and clarity, and speakers are often introduced or identified either by the conference host or the telephone operator of the company who's providing the hosting and recording service. The length of the conference calls will obviously vary depending on the type of meeting or the reason for the conference, but are usually about 60-70 minutes in length at most.

Conference call transcription is a great service to provide to your clients, so make sure you have it listed in your menu of services.
