Transcription - Get Digital Recording Equipment That's Right For Your Needs

There is a bewildering array of recording equipment available to record your interviews, focus groups, conferences etc. for later transcription, but this article aims to inform you on the different features available for recorders, what they're for and how the will (or won't) be of use to you, as someone who is recording for transcription. There is an enormous price range from less than £50 to hundreds of pounds, and this article aims to explain indicate which features cost more and what to look out for. The different features are first listed and then explained, and this should allow you to choose a machine that's right for you and your transcriptionist. As any visit to a good website or shop selling these machines will show you, this is not a comprehensive list. It's a list of the most important aspects from a transcription point of view.

The different features are:

• Recording quality
• Frequency response
• Amount of recording time
• Computer interface
• File type
• Editing of recorded voice e.g. rewinding and adding or deleting some words
• How is the recorder powered?
• Dimensions
• Microphone jack
• Links with a speech recognition software

Recording quality will normally be indicated as SHQ - stereo high quality, HQ - high quality, SP (short play) and LP (long play). SHQ is the best quality (and stereo of course) but will take up the most memory, so you will be able to record less at this setting. LP is the poorest quality but you can record more time. Mono is probably perfectly adequate for an interview, but if you're recording a number of different people e.g. at a meeting, conference or focus group, it might be useful to have stereo recording. To use stereo you will need a stereo microphone or more than one external microphone.

The different recording qualities relate to different frequency responses. The human ear picks up audio in the range of between approximately 20 Hz and 20 kHz. But what are the most used frequencies in speech? I'd love to know but a quick Google search gives an unbelievable range of answers! I think it's fairly safe to say it's somewhere around 250 Hz to 5 kHz, with the higher end being a high-pitched woman's voice and the lower end being a low-pitched man. So it's around those ranges that you need to be looking. There is a wide range of different frequencies available in different recording machines but frankly most will record a one-to-one or one-to-two interview to acceptable quality at SP, and possibly even at LP.

The amount of recording time will depend on which recording quality you choose, and again the range of times is enormous, so you really need to think about what your needs are. You might need a long recording time if you're going to be researching 'in the field' for significant lengths of time, with no access to your PC to download files, or if you are recording a conference, especially if you want to use a high quality recording for this, which will mean you have less time. If, however, you are recording notes or dictation, or one-to-one interviews, and can regularly download information onto your PC, there is no need to save vast amounts of data onto the machine. It is probably this factor that creates the biggest price differences, so think carefully and don't buy a machine that gives you hours more time than you need.

The computer interface is a really important consideration. If you are planning to send the recordings to a transcriptionist to be transcribed you will need to download them onto your PC first. They can then either be emailed (if small enough, see file type section), transferred by FTP, or in some cases, including my company Penguin Transcription, sent using a file-sending box on the transcriptionist's website. Even if you plan to transcribe the files yourself it is a tedious business if you have to do this directly from the 'note taker' as recorders that don't have a download interface are sometimes called. Ideally the recorder will link to your PC with a USB interface, usually requiring no extra software or drivers. Alternatively it might link through a port and come with a CD containing the relevant drivers.

The file type is another very important consideration and is perhaps the one that is most often overlooked. Examples are WAV (uncompressed, great quality but enormous), WMA (Windows Media format, compressed but reasonable quality for voice), DSS (Olympus proprietary transcription file, very compressed but specially designed for voice so good quality). These are just a few examples and you can see details of a wider range of file types in my separate article on this site 'Digital File Types for Audio Transcription'. If you plan to send your files to a transcriptionist for transcription you will ideally want files that are reasonably small and can be emailed, although there are various ways of sending much larger files over the net. WAV files will not only take a long time to send, they will take up a lot of space on your PC, and on your recorder. DSS or DVF files for instance, are much more convenient as they are small and compact, can be emailed without being blocked by the server, and are delivered quickly.

Editing of recorded voice will probably be more important if you are using the machine to take dictation rather than an interview. When dictating a letter you may want to go back and delete the last few words and replace them with something else. The recorders at the mid to upper end of the price-range usually have this feature but if it's important to you it's worth checking to make sure as they by no means all have it.

How is the recorder powered? Most recorders are battery powered but if you're gong to be using your recorder significantly it's worth checking that you can use rechargeable batteries, from an environmental and cost perspective! It's also a consideration if dimensions are important to you. In particular the batteries can add considerably to the weight. Most modern recording machines are fairly light and quite discreet though. If weight is a concern make sure that the weight listed includes the batteries.

Whether or not the recorder has a microphone jack is an important consideration, as is the quality of mike that it allows you to plug in. Really for anything but one-person dictation an external microphone is a necessity. Recording an interview with only the machine's internal microphone is likely to give disappointing results. A poor recording will lead, at worst, to a poor transcription, and at best to an expensive transcription, as it will take longer to complete! If you are recording a conference you will need more than one mike, or a stereo microphone, as already mentioned.

Some recorders link with speech recognition software. As yet this type of software is really only of use for one-voice recording e.g. dictation of notes. Even then you will need to spend some time and energy 'training' the software to recognize your voice, and then carefully check the transcript as it will doubtless be ridden with mistakes, especially on homophones (words that sound the same but are spelt differently.) However, if you are going to use one of these packages then a feature that links your recorder directly to it is a useful addition.

This list is only the most important features in my opinion for transcription of interviews, dictation, focus groups and conferences. It does not cover the recording of music which requires a much wider frequency range and a number of other specialist considerations, but I hope that it is helpful for those embarking on research that requires transcription.

Audio transcript for marketing products on YouTube & Google

Timothy Clark is a senior marketing executive at a Los Angeles based company which sells consumer electronic products, the company was in the process of introducing three new products, for which Timothy was put in charge of preparing a blueprint of planning the marketing campaign for the new products.

The company in view of the downturn in the economy, scaled the advertising budget for the sales campaign by 50%, Timothy in the past had always planned marketing campaigns in a very grandiose and extravagant fashion, but for the moment was in a fix on how to plan the advertising campaigns with a small budget.

As a first step three different mediums of advertising were chosen, the first was through the print media, the second one was through mailing brochures to a list of clients of the company, and the last was to prepare video clippings of the new products, but still undecided through which mediums the video features would be promoted, television was out of question because of the cost.

The first two mediums of the campaign quickly got underway, Timothy may have in normal circumstances chosen the television networks for the video clippings, but for the moment with a changed scenario, that option seemed unaffordable. As an experiment Timothy decided to use the internet for using the video clippings for the marketing.

Soon a decision was taken to promote the products through YouTube and Google Video, an SEO expert who was consulted advised Timothy to consider changing the commentary in the video clippings, so as to include as many keywords as possible, into the audio of the video feature, having done that a transcription company was hired to prepare a transcript of the entire audio of the video feature.

As soon as the audio transcription was ready, Timothy posted the video clippings on YouTube & Google Video, he made sure to attach the audio transcript of the entire video clippings, three days after posting the video clippings, the company received many queries through telephone and email, Timothy was amazed and thrilled at the response.

The audio transcription was the key that did the trick, along with the spoken keywords in the video, the transcript which was posted along with the video clippings was indexed by the search engine Google, the product keywords provided the video presentation a search engine advantage, the online shoppers after watching the video clippings and the highlights of the products, responded in kind.

More than the print medium or the brochures that were sent to customers, the YouTube & Google campaign was able to sell twice as many units of the products than the other two mediums of advertising the company had chosen for the campaign.

Medical Transcription - Myths And Realities: The Basics

Unless you have some sort of super anti-spam e-mail blocker installed on your computer, you have probably received e-mails with titles such as "Make $150,000 a year as an at home medical transcriptionist - no investment required". Many of these e-mails are nothing but solicitations to try and get you to buy some sort of e-book, or other item, that will teach you how to become a medical transcriptionist. While remembering that many of these e-mails are nothing more than spam, it is equally important to remember that many of them are legitimate.

To start with, medical transcription is one of the fastest-growing of the medical related career fields. A study conducted about 6 years ago found that transcription, and related fields, would continue tremendous growth for many years to come. This is due in part to the rapid advance in the number of retiring "baby boomers". As well, virtually all medical career fields are nearly recession proof, as no matter what the economic climate, people are always going to need medical care; thus, doctors and other medical professionals are always going to need medical transcriptionists.

In essence, a trained medical transcriptionist can take the notes (most commonly being voice recordings) of doctors, nurses, etc., and translate them into various forms, including medical reports, charts, etc. Potential medical transcriptionists will need good listening skills, as medical terminology may sound the same, but have different meanings depending upon the context in which it's used. The final results of a medical transcriptionists work must be 100% accurate, as this work is what's used to document a patient's medical history. As well, a transcriptionist's work may be utilized during certain legal proceedings, so everything must always be perfect. Legal matters can hinge entirely on the accuracy of the transcriptions. And, no matter what the outcome of the proceedings, all transcripts most generally become a matter of public record.

A medical transcriptionist is normally employed in one of the following 4 ways:

In an actual hospital
In a doctor's office, clinic, or other outpatient medical care facility
In labs, medical schools, third-party transcription services, etc.
As independent or "home-based" medical transcriptionists

Most appealing to potential new transcriptionists is the possibility of working from home. While being home-based has its benefits, it has its challenges as well. The lack of a normal "9 to 5" work schedule, and structured office environment are two good examples of such challenges. As well, if you decide to become home-based, you will likely need to form your own business legally, set up your tax requirements, etc. All of this is really not anywhere near as difficult as it may sound. But all potential home-based transcriptionists will want to keep these things in mind.

Digital Transcription

In modern time people have very less time. People are caught up in a very fast moving world, first thing in the morning have you ever sat down at your desk and wrote about the things which you need to do for that day? I never finish my list by home time. For all businesses this is the same; getting jobs completed gets delayed because of not enough time. Having extra pair of hands would be so valuable in this present moving world. How to manage this? The service of a digital transcription company can be really handy for this.

Digital audio transcription is a process where the digital audio files are converted into transcripts for companies without the time of manpower to do the same. The service used by the companies can widely vary; from law to medical, insurance to construction, IT to media, it's a huge list. When you outsource your digital audio transcription to a professional transcription company your can really save time and you can concentrate on other things.

Certain types of files which are used in digital transcription process are mentioned below.

1). WAV - This is also known as WAVE files. It was one amongst the first audio file developed for use with the PC. WAV file can also be shrunk to 12th of its original size. Due to its very large size it created many problems so consequently it is not much used in the recent days.

2). MP3 - This is used in music as compressed WAV file. MP3 format can be recorded in many digital recorders.

3). WMA - Windows Media Audio files. With all Windows based PCs this file comes, these files were especially developed for Windows Media Player. These files are more compressed; it is even more compressed than an MP3.

Medical Transcription Practice Tapes: Ways to Achieve Proficiency in Medical Transcription

Medical transcription is one of the most popular home businesses and is always high on the list of those who want to work at home. Running your own medical transcription business involves typing medical notes, including a history and physical, operative reports, follow up reports etc., so that the physician has detailed information about that patient. The physician also needs a medical transcript to send to the insurance companies so he/she can be reimbursed for services rendered.

A keen sense of hearing is an ace in the game of medical transcription. A typical hearing acuity alone will not assure a 100% accuracy in the medical transcripts you produce. If you wish to master the art of medical transcription, you need to have a well-developed sense of hearing. In this field, you can't afford to make mistakes when you're typing what the doctor says. This is because there is a very thin line between each word's pronunciation as with the terms "a rock" and "Iraq". And, in a case like this, slight misheards could mean a difference between life and death especially when you're dealing with the patients' medicines.

We all know that it's hard to find a medical transcriptionist who is born with an excellent sense of hearing. But, it does come with practice. You have a lot of potential to achieve good listening skills. As we always say "practice makes perfect". You can start training your ears by watching English TV shows or by talking to different kinds of people and study their voice patterns and pronunciations. Also, you can start listening to the varying accents in English of American, Australian, British, Mexican, or Indian doctors. Really, it's your choice. Although, the best approach is exposure to real physician dictations, you can also enhance yourself through the use of medical transcription practice tapes.

But what are medical transcription practice tapes? Actually, medical transcription practice tapes are recording and storage devices used by doctors for their dictations, which are converted as wav or voice files in the computer just like that of an mp3. But, there are also those medical transcription practice tapes being used by students in some medical transcription schools, which may be bought online. They are not really that different from those used by physicians except for the fact that they are utilized for a specific purpose. Medical transcription practice tapes as the name implies are only used for practice and not for actual transcription. They either contain simulated or real physician dictations. Medical transcription practice tapes are for the use of beginners who have no exposure to real physician dictations as well as for already established medical transcriptionists who just want to attain a higher level of competency in the field.

Although medical transcription practice tapes may be rented, the best option for beginners is perhaps to have a copy of their own. These days, you need not go to a specific store to purchase medical transcription practice tapes. They are available online from several websites that specialize in medical transcription. They usually come in two sizes, that is standard-sized medical transcription practice tapes and micro-sized medical transcription practice tapes.

The duration of dictation for these medical transcription practice tapes and the level of the terms' difficulty vary as well. As an added feature, answer keys are provided to compare your work with.

Whoever said you can't learn on your own must be bluffing. Medical transcription practice tapes can truly make a difference in your performance, although it is necessary to have medical terminology skills beforehand. In fact, for beginners, early exposure to actual dictations could give you the edge you need, and for seasoned transcriptionists, or people going back into the field of medical transcription, the extra practice will definitely improve the skills necessary to become a true medical language specialist.

Technologically Boosting the Medical Transcription Company

Medical Transcription Company

Virtually every medical service provider dictates SOAP notes into recorders for transcription and sends them off to a medical transcription company to transcribe and return a refined copy of necessary medical information.

In fact, without the medical transcription company the medical service provider would be too overburdened with transcription to pay the attention it needs to its clients. However, the medical transcription company has had to undergo technological changes in order to keep up with demand and with competition. Fast-paced medical service requires fast-paced medical transcription. So, which medical transcription company will survive? The answer is the one that takes advantage of time-saving technology.

Medical Transcription

This answer is not at all uncommon now-a-days, but it is especially challenging in the field of medical transcription. Medical transcription is just as it sounds: transcribing on paper the notes that were audio recorded. It doesn’t seem at first that much more technology is needed than a word processor and a cassette tape player.

The crux of the matter is controlling quantity. Effective records of SOAP notes, especially in the quantities supplied by medical offices, require the technological ability to not only record medical transcription but also to track it and store it.

Medical Transcription Job

The medical transcription job would be daunting at best without the help of technology. Let me review a general version of a medical transcription job check list:

1. Receive tapes from medical service provider.

2. Transcribe 1st draft of SOAP notes.

3. Save transcription.

4. Continue process with entire batch.

5. Review medical transcription for errors.

6. Make changes on 1st draft of medical transcriptions.

7. Send medical transcriptions back to medical service provider.

8. Bill medical service provider.

This process most often overlaps itself due to the management of multiple batches from multiple service providers. Organizational skill is high up on the requirements list for a medical transcription specialist.

Medical Transcription Program

Due to the massive amounts of medical transcription jobs and batches continually being sent back and forth between medical service providers and the medical transcription company, the market has awakened to meet medical transcription needs. Looking for a medical transcription program is so easy, it’s hard. Just type “medical transcription program” into Google, Yahoo, or MSN and witness first hand the millions of indexed pages you might have to sift through.

Transcriptions – Why ‘India’ is the preferred choice of most US companies?

India has become the preferred choice of many US company’s wanting to assign vendors who can provide low-cost transcription services, that will cut down operational costs at home and marginally benefit shrinking profits.

The healthcare companies, private practice doctors and hospitals have immensely benefited in assigning transcription services to India, which has the third largest scientific manpower in the globe, and combined with low wages that are paid out to this educated class.

Doctors and hospitals are able to provide healthcare at moderate costs, remember the healthcare industry is growing at 3.5% annually, even in these turbulent times in which major financial companies and automobile companies are in the ‘red’.

Even though transcription services can at best be described as secretarial services, but when you consider the level of importance it has on our day-to-day lives, you will realize that a transcriber is as important as a doctor, a solicitor or a television producer.

What would happen if doctors would have to make do without a transcriber, how would their dictations be documented for the benefit of the patient, or how the insurance company would process the claims of numerous patients in need of healthcare?

And how would a solicitor or a legal company manage without the services of a transcriber, what would happen to the hearings, pleadings, depositions, legal examinations etc, if these were not documented or transcribed.

How would the multimedia industry cope without the services of a transcriber? Imagine podcasts, web cast and television programming, every segment of the media industry would be paralyzed if text services or transcripts would not be easily available.

Closed captioning for television programs would not be possible without a transcript, consider the plight of people with hearing impairment if a text caption was not displayed on television, or for that matter webcasts and podcast will not be easily displayed or indexed in search engines without a transcript attached to the video clippings shown on Google video or YouTube, many internet surfers would thus be deprived of viewing them.

All said and done, transcription service providers are as important as professionals hiring them, and India is notably assisting US companies in no small measure.
