Interview transcription

Interview transcription is the process whereby interviews recorded in audio format are converted to text format. With advent of technology companies are now able to conduct interview between individuals physically located at different places. These interviews stored in audio format are converted into text format and this ensures that the matters discussed in the interview can be adequately documented. Several firms offer transcription services and a transcription company can be selected after viewing the past projects completed by the company. This helps in determining of the company can complete the projects in time and with high accuracy level.

Interview transcription can help in converting legal interviews, business interviews, journalistic and research interviews and telephonic interviews as well. The transcription company selected should have the requisite equipment like computer, foot pedal, printer etc. The transcription company should also have experienced transcriptionists, editors and proof readers on board. Other factors that need to be taken into consideration while selecting transcription companies include the turnaround time as well as the level of accuracy. With globalisation there is now a growing demand for transcriptionists who are versed in foreign languages and can comprehend foreign accents. While transcription services may undertake verbatim or literal transcription of the matter or incorporate certain changes so as to maintain the flow of the matter and leave out unnecessary parts. Ordinarily around 98% accuracy is maintained in the transcription process.
