Business Transcription for Legal,medinie,media and Technical Transcription

"It really doesn't matter where the transcription is provided, the technology is the same. It's the idea of getting the work completed that matters to the bottom line."

This a popular quote by Chris Hopkins, owner of Landmark transcription company, that displays how large business owners view outsourced transcriptioning. While there has been much commotion in the United States over the perceived loss of jobs due to outsourcing, the reality remains that the outsourcing of jobs is bound to be advantageous in the long run as businesses continue to develop.

Business Transcription is the service of transforming recorded audio files into verbatim transcripts for companies across industrial domains. Every company that is registered with stock markets has to stick to the condition of conducting quarterly meetings of their business, thereby updating upon their level of performance of business to their investors, together with the people involved in their business. As this meeting move ahead, the co-coordinator has to capture the meeting, store it in the form of an audio file, and get it converted to text by a transcriptionist. The transcriptionist, in turn, listens to the audio file, modifies it to text and sends it back to the customer in text format. This is how business transcription works.

Business transcriptioning is already a phenomenon in the US. Concerns are no longer interested in taking over the extra obligation of doing humdrum work like transcriptioning, email marketing, document drafting etc. They want to focus their energies on their primary business. They also don't want to spend money in buying transcriptioning equipment. Hence, they are giving away their work to external transcriptioning agencies. These transcriptioning companies then started providing transcribers who did more than elementary transcription. They became Virtual Assistants to the owners of businesses.

Now companies want business transcription work to be outsourced, just like other classes of transcriptions. They want to decrease costs on getting transcription done and also the quality that countries like India provide along with cost-effectiveness. For India, Business transcription is new compared to medical or legal transcription. With the availability of high-speed satellite links, it is now entirely possible to do this work in India in technical terms. Also many general transcription companies in India are taking up assignments for business transcription. The best part about a career in business transcription is that, unlike medical and legal transcription, there is no need of focused training for business transcription. With initial training to get familiar with general transcription work, any graduate with English language skills can become
a business transcriptionist.
