Do's & Don'ts
of Dictating
Do I talk like that? Before transcription, discuss any special style
preferences to include or avoid. Provide all special
instructions at the beginning of the dictation.
Environment. Place the recorder near the center location of the speakers and ask
each person to speak loudly, identify themselves and give
correct spelling of their name. If possible, use systems
equipped with microphones strategically placed around the
table.
Interruptions.
If you are interrupted while dictating, place
the system on "pause" or "stop" so the conversation is
not recorded. Do not hold a long conversation with others
while still dictating, because the conversation will also be
recorded and the materials discussed may be of a confidential
or personal nature.
Equipment.
Where possible, always use standard cassette tapes for
recording audio. Also, record at normal settings instead of 2x
or 4x speed. These setting impact the clarity of the recording
and may require additional transcription time.
Verbatim
Transcripts.
Please let us know if you want a verbatim versus cleaned
version of the recording. Verbatim transcripts identify all
sounds and false starts:
Verbatim: Includes laughs, background conversations, etc. and false starts. For example: Well, when,
when you get there, if you, if you — you
get the picture.
Cleaned Transcript: Well, when you get there you'll get
the picture.
Transcribing recordings of meetings, conferences, seminars, focus
groups, insurance interviews, police reports, etc. is a time-intensive process. Instead of
struggling with difficult accents, distortions, background noises
and hours of editing, save time, money and be more productive by outsourcing
your business
transcription requirements to an experienced company that has
been providing professional
transcription services since 1990.
Outsource business & tape transcription to skilled transcriptionists.
