TRANSCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION: What is Transcription?
Transcription is the task of converting a video or an audio file into a written
or text document.
A transcriptionist listens to the audio recording and transcribes or types the
dictation.
There are three major types of transcription: medical transcription, legal
transcription, and general transcription.
This training focuses on general transcription, which is easier and faster to
learn and inexpensive.
Skills Required:
A misplaced comma or period can totally change the meaning of a sentence.
Excellent writing skills will make your work better.
Good transcribers know how to use google when they need to. Knowledge in
microsoft word is required in transcription.
Fast typing helps you earn more in transcription since earnings are
determined by production. The faster you type, the more projects you can
complete on a given deadline.
TYPES OF TRANSCRIPTION:
1. Clean verbatim transcription
2. Full verbatim transcription
Clean verbatim transcription does not include false starts, verbal tics,
stutters, and other speech or sounds not relevant to the transcript.
However, sentences are cleaned but not paraphrased. Don't transcribe
thinking noises.
Thinking is if one just keeps on saying uh huh, right, okay, yeah while
someone else is talking.
Still under transcription rules and guidelines, slang forms should not be
used. Examples of slang forms are going to, want to, got to, got to, all right,
and because.
