How Audio Transcription Service beneficial to me?

Imagine you were invited to attend a lecture. It focused on various topics surrounding gender. At the end of the lecture, the speaker promised to send the lecture to everyone’s email address.

The following week you received the most surprising email. It was the lecture you had attended the previous week, but not as audio as you had expected. Rather you had received a word document. No, not lecture notes but an accurate document of everything the speaker had said word for word. How? Transcription of course.

Here is another example of how transcription works. You were recently interviewed by a researcher on how accents affect how we perceive speech. Several months later, the research paper is published.  And reading some of the interviews you realize that everything in the conversation was noted down.

When the person coughed, when the interviewer laughed, when a car passed by and honked and when the interviewer and interviewer had spoken at the same time. This is possible through an approach of transcription known as naturalized transcription.

Reasons for Transcription

Audio content is a great way to get information across to your audience, but why stop there? Converting your files to text format has been proven to hold a ton of benefits.

Although there are several reasons why anyone would transcribe an audio file to a written text document. Here are some reasons why you should transcribe your audio file:

• Good SEO Practice

Anybody with a form of content on the internet wants people to see it. And they only way people can see your content is for it to be at the top of search results. While audio files can be transcribed by search engines, it is easier for them to index content in text format. Search engines like Google are experts in surfing the web for content that is not only relevant but of good quality. However, the chances of your content being indexed are reduced when it remains in audio form,

• Reach a Wider Audience

Audio content is targeted at people who prefer to listen on the go. But there is a larger audience who prefers reading. By converting your audio content to text, you would be killing two birds with one stone.

• Increased Accessibility

Accessibility involves making your content reachable for people with disabilities. People who are deaf or have some difficulty hearing will be able to access your content if it is in text format. Because they can read it instead.

• Ease of Distribution

While audio content is great. Methods of distributing it are limited to podcasts, website downloads, or physical mediums such as CDs. Text content has a myriad of ways it can be distributed. From emails to social media platforms.

Methods of Transcription

Just like there are different types of transcriptions, there are different methods of transcribing your audio file. Some common methods include verbatim transcription, intelligent verbatim transcription, and edited transcription.

Verbatim transcription is the most difficult, time-consuming, and expensive form of transcription. This is because it strives to capture every detail in the audio file. Every laugh, cough, emotion, and even background noise is captured in the document.

Intelligent verbatim transcriptions are more focused on improving the readability of the final document. So even when every word is captured, unnecessary filters like “you know” and “uhm” etc. are excluded. Emotions and sounds are equally left out.

Edited transcriptions require the transcriber to understand the message being passed in the audio or video, filter any unnecessary parts, and produce a final document that still retains the integrity of the original file. It can be seen as an edited intelligent verbatim transcript.

While audio content is great. Methods of distributing it are limited to podcasts, website downloads, or physical mediums such as CDs. Text content has a myriad of ways it can be distributed. From emails to social media platforms.
