AUDIO
TRANSCRIPTION
We can transcribe
audio work from any of the following -
Micro cassettes
Mini cassettes
Standard size
audio cassettes
You can post
or courier the tapes to us and we will transcribe them in Microsoft Word
format and e-mail the finished document back to you with a hard copy in
the post or fax if you wish.
Digital Transcription
We
can also accept Digital Voice Files (WAV, WMA, MP3 and DSS file formats).
You will need a digital voice recorder which will enable you to download
the voice files to your PC which you can then attach and e-mail to us,
or the necessary software to record directly on
to your PC and, similarly, attach and e-mail to us. The new digital voice
technology enables you to record and instantly send the recording for
transcription. This eliminates the time taken to post or courier tapes.
We
charge hourly rates for transcription of any media and the time taken
to transcribe a tape depends on the clarity and quality of the recording.
As a rough guide, a clear recording of one person speaking would take
approximately one hour to transcribe fifteen minutes of tape. Therefore for a clear recording you can assume you will be paying £1 per tape minute.
Interviews,
conferences, telephone conference calls, round table meetings, etc. will
almost certainly take longer and we would need to hear an example to give
an estimate.
Remember
The clearer the sound quality, the less time it will take us to transcribe
your work, which will obviously reduce your costs.
Record in a quiet place, spelling out
any technical terms, names and address details, etc.
