Outsourcing Audio Transcription – Why It Works

Outsourcing transcription works for many reasons, but the nub of the matter is that although anyone can set themselves up as a transcriptionist, a good transcriptionist is much more than just someone who can type; transcription is a specialised business. That is why if your administrative/secretarial staff are not specially trained in transcription, or if they are simply overloaded, outsourcing can be the answer.
What does a transcriptionist do?

A transcriptionist takes audio recordings, whether they be on tape or digitally recorded, and creates a typed transcript of the recording. Such recordings may be dictation (one person speaking), interviews (one or two people being interviewed), focus groups (a group of people under guided discussion), meeting recordings etc.
What’s so special about that?

A transcriptionist is more than ‘just’ a typist because s/he is doing more than just typing what’s on a written page. The transcriptionist has to understand the content of the recording in order to be able to punctuate it correctly and correctly spell homophones (words that sound the same but are spelt differently). The transcriptionist may also need knowledge of a particular vocabulary (e.g. for medical or legal transcription) and a general transcriptionist still needs a better than average vocabulary and general knowledge, in order to correctly pick up on things like place names, names of events, technical details etc. A transcriptionist these days is probably also an expert researcher on Google – a great way to fill those general knowledge gaps provided you know how to do it properly! Of course this person is also an expert typist with a fast typing speed – audio typing takes longer than copy typing for precisely the reasons listed above, but the industry standard for a fully experienced transcriptionist is that it takes about an hour to transcribe fifteen minutes of good quality interview recording (a bit less for dictation and more for groups or for recordings with ‘issues’ as indicated below.) Even someone who touch types may find that without transcription experience it takes much, much longer. Finally the transcriptionist also needs to have excellent attention to detail in order to proofread the work thoroughly before handing it over to the client.
Why outsource?

If your staff are not trained transcriptionists and you have transcription required on an ad hoc basis, then the reasons listed above should make the answer obvious. A meeting transcription might take a trained transcriptionist a full day to transcribe, so a non-trained member of staff could easily take two days – two days when they are unable to complete their normal day-to-day functions. The results may also be disappointing if their grammar and ability to punctuate is not up to scratch. The outsourced transcriptionist will complete you work without taking anyone away from their normal duties.

It is also useful where company politics might come into play! I have recently transcribed a number of disciplinary interviews etc. for a variety of clients who preferred that their secretarial staff were not party to the contents of the meetings.

Also if you do not require transcription on a regular basis you may not have the relevant equipment, and this can be quite costly. If recording on to digital formats there is freely available software that will allow your staff to listen to the recording, rewind, play it back at varying speeds etc. but without a transcription foot pedal the time taken to transcribe is increased even further.
Finding a good transcription company to outsource your work to

Anyone can call themselves a transcriptionist so how do you know if you’re going to get a decent service? There are a number of things you can do – and some you shouldn’t! One of the don’ts is asking for a CV. Why not? Because a transcription service is a business, not your potential employee. You wouldn’t ask a solicitor, estate agent, builder or chiropodist for a CV, so why ask a transcriptionist? Instead go by recommendation, just as you would do for another business, or if you don’t know anyone who can recommend a good transcriptionist look for testimonials. Many transcription services show these on their websites.

Another don’t is to ask for the transcriptionist to take a test – frankly, if they have time and inclination to do this they’re probably not very busy – and while that might be because they’ve just started up a business but have years of excellent experience (if you’re lucky!) it might also be that they’re simply not very good. If you do require a test then you should expect to pay for it at the normal rate.

If you have a significant number of recordings that are going to need transcribing in a short period of time then you might want to ask what procedures the service has in place to project manage large jobs like this, whether they employ people directly, subcontract etc. If they subcontract, you might need to check their confidentially procedures to ensure that this won’t be an issue. If all your questions are answered quickly and positively then the chances are you’re talking to someone who is familiar with working with such projects!

Other things you should be asking are price (obviously) and turnaround time (when they can get the recordings back to you). Do bear in mind that a good service might well be a busy service so if you can book in advance of wanting to send your recordings, so much the better.

Questions your potential transcription service should be asking you include: what kind of transcription is it (interview, focus group etc.), how long is your recording, what kind of recording (e.g. standard cassette tape, digital recording in .wma format), what’s the recording quality like, is the speech clear, do you need a verbatim transcription and when do you need your transcription returned?

If you have a specific requirement regarding formatting now is the time to say so, as most services have their own standard formats which will be used unless you state otherwise, although they’re very happy to format in any way you require.

Voice to Text That Needs to Be Accurate and at a Cost That is Friendly

There are innumerable companies on the net offering voice-to-text service, but how many of them take pains to maintain the transcripts quality and its accuracy, not many, as we will soon find out the reasons. The media manager of a company in Los Angeles narrated his experiences with a transcription company.

He stated that their main purpose for needing transcripts was for adding captions to web casts and television programming, and when he assigned the task of voice-to-text to a company on the web, the transcripts had very many inaccuracies. First there were many spelling errors, then large portions of the audio did not find a place in the transcripts, the transcribers indiscriminately entered [inaudible], even to portions of the audio that were quite audible.

Another issue that the transcripts had was capitalization, punctuation, grammar, and in some instances run on sentence was not broken. Even compounded words in the audio were not hyphenated. These were the issues that were of concerns to the media manager of the company, because the inaccurate transcripts reflected on the captions that are embedded into the television programs.

It appears that because there is a shortage of quality transcribers, many companies resort to using voice recognition software and since there are limitations of what voice recognition is capable of doing, the transcripts processed by the software has these inaccuracies.

Many multimedia companies also face issues on pricing, some of the transcription companies charge $80 to $90 for voice to text of an hour of audio, this the companies feel is unduly expensive and adds to the costs. The media companies feel that $55 to $60 for an hour of audio is quite reasonable, and would not mind paying, provided the transcription companies assure them the quality parameters are maintained, because adding captions to programs is done differently now, unlike how they were embedded earlier.

The multimedia companies require the transcripts in the standard Timed Text (TT) format and some of the software's that are used for embedding captions require customized transcription formats. The transcription companies should have the ability to process the transcripts in any format or templates needed by the multimedia companies.

Voice Transcription: Useful Notes on Voice Transcription

Interpreting audio recordings and transcribing them into textual matter, is what transcription is all about. Advancement in technology means there are plenty of speech recognition software that makes transcription easy. There are transcription professionals who specialise in providing voice transcription services. These can be for a variety of material including dictated notes of professionals such as doctors and lawyers, sermons, college lectures, speeches made at conferences and events among others.

To provide transcription service one must have a sharp ear for phonetics. A simple instance is the English language and the way it is spoken around the world by people of different nationalities. This means that even if there are voice recognition software there is a need for a transcription professional who will ensure that the transcripts are accurate. Voice transcription essentially is converting dictated or spoken material into written or word format. These services may be required by anybody from a student to psychoanalysts, corporate analysts, writers and researchers.

Most service providers offer a whole array of transcription services including church transcription, converting sermons to text, converting audio to text and even converting podcast to text though this is relatively new. Providing transcription service is easy but there but it calls for attention to detail, quality should never be compromised for speed and grammar needs to be paid attention to. Proofing is an essential part of transcription to ensure that the meaning, words and context are not tampered with. While a proof reader or a quality controller in the voice transcription business corrects spellings it should always be ensured that meaning and context remain the same.

Interestingly, voice transcription is not restricted to services mentioned earlier. Besides this, transcription could also be provided for movies, minutes of meeting, research interviews, dictation, conferences, forums, movies, TV serials, speeches, discussions, reports, correspondence, meetings, lectures, meetings, focus groups, manuscripts, and teleconferences. With the progress in technology, it is easy to set up and offer transcription services provided quality metrics are in place. The Internet provides plenty of free voice transcription software while Google is experimenting with voice mail transcription software. Unfortunately the Google voice transcription software is restricted only to English language.

There are plenty of companies and freelancers who provide transcription services at very reasonable costs. They are reliable and accurate, with years of experience in this field. If you do not want tot trust the software you could outsource your project to these companies and individuals for accurate transcripts.

Voice Transcription - Is It A Cakewalk For An Audio Typist?

Certainly not! The method of transcribing voice to text is termed as voice transcription. Though, it looks like an audio typist can comfortably perform it, the truth is far behind it. It requires a pool of talents in addition to the skills possessed by an audio typist.

Who is an audio typist?

The job of an audio typist is, listening to the recording and obviously typing whatever it is, in the tape. S/he doesn't have to proof read the document or care about the sentence structure in the document. Transcription doesn't stop with mere conversion of voice to text. There are additional factors that are quite vital from a client's point of view. A perfectly transcribed document requires a complete proof reading, editing and proper punctuation. It is not anyone's job, only a transcribers will fit for the purpose.

Who is a transcriptionist?

A transcriptionist is a person who performs the transcribing process. Apart from transcribing the voice, s/he should be unassailable in listening, typing, proof reading, punctuating, handling software and hardware and surfing in internet work. Transcriptionist makes use of the transcribing software with a foot pedal and a clear earphone which has a noise cancellation facility associated with it, to perform a perfect transcribing process. On putting all the pieces together, a transcriptionist should be self-disciplined and professional in whatever s/he does.

On using the transcriptionist in a proper way, clients can pull better results. By informing the transcriptionist prior to the transcribing process, about desired file format of the transcribed document and kind of transcription like verbatim or intelligence verbatim, a perfect and error free document can be obtained in a quick turnaround time.

Voice Transcription Software: What Doctors Get

When youre a doctor, its not only your job ease the symptoms or to cure the ailments of your patient. It is also your responsibility to ensure that everythingthe tests and diagnosesare properly documented. They are not only meant for archives. They can be used for references for other patients (think of case studies) or for coming up with the best protocol for an individual.

Thats why they need the help of medical transcriptionists. Its their main job to transform into texts the words that are being dictated by the physician. They may be compiled into audio files, or the physicians themselves will be the ones to call their medical transcriptionists for automatic transcription.

Regardless, you may want to consider using voice transcription software. This application will be beneficial not only to you but also to your medical transcriptionist. It assures you that you can achieve productivity, accuracy, and integrity.

When you make use of voice transcription software, you can take advantage of the following:

Use your own dictation method. Some doctors are comfortable with using handheld recorders. Others would like to make a call and immediately dictate the reports or perhaps leave messages in telephones. There are also others who rely on third parties.

A good voice transcription program is one that allows you to be more versatile on your mode of dictation. It doesnt matter what option you choose. Youre going to get the same correct results. Moreover, some programs these days give you a local phone number to dial, so you can scrimp on the cost usually incurred in long-distance conversations.

Edit and approve/reject documents. You will also have more power on what to do with the documents. With the help of online editing tools such as medical spell checker, its very easy for you to spot errors that could have been committed by your medical transcriptionist.

Also, when youre satisfied with the texts handed to you, you can decide to sign the documents electronically as a seal of approval. Otherwise, you can click on Rejection to have the document returned and be under QA process again. This would also give your medical transcriptionist a time to correct his or her mistakes.

Keep track of your reports. Time is of the essence when it comes to reports that have to be transcribed. This is the reason why most transcriptionists will have only 24 hours to complete a particular job.

You can utilize the voice recognition software to determine the status of your order. You can log in to the network and see at which stage in the production process your job order is. The order will be given its own unique code for easy follow-up.

Easily check for accuracy. Some voice transcription programs can combine text and audio. This way, you can conveniently compare the texts in the template to the audio that youre currently listening.

Dont worry. A voice transcription program like Infraware is easy to handle. You dont have to be out of your doctor duties for a very long time. In fact, less than 30 minutes is already enough.
