Digital Transcription
1 HOW IT WORKS
Send audio files using email OR it takes a few minutes to get you set up with your own secure DROPBOX folder. Once
you’ve uploaded your file it is picked up, transcribed and the finished document is saved to your folder and an email is
sent to you with a link to the completed document for you to download when you are ready.
Most file types can be accepted including MP3, MP4, WAV and WMA. If you have a slightly more unusual file type send
it over as I have software that will convert just about anything.
2 MEETING / ACTION POINTS
Only the important points / information from the audio will be transcribed.
3 INTELLIGENT VERBATIM
All audio is transcribed, any over-use of “urm” and “ah” are omitted for a clear and easy read.
4 VERBATIM
Every word, sound, suggestion, stutter, hesitation and pause will be transcribed as it is heard in the audio recording.
5 HOW LONG DOES A ONE HOUR RECORDING TAKE TO TRANSCRIBE?
The common misconception is that one hour of recording takes one hour to transcribe! Far from it! We speak much
faster than we can write or type; otherwise there would be no need for shorthand or stenographers. It's generally
accepted that we speak four times faster than we can type and seven times faster than we can write.
The professional industry standard allows ONE hour to transcribe 15 minutes of clearly recorded speech. It therefore
takes a MINIMUM of 4 hours to transcribe a one hour recording depending on a number of factors.
