The
tasty benefit of transcription is the fact that it can increase the efficiency
of almost any workflow. Digital transcript produced by swift conversion of
audio or video to text offers a multitude of uses for different industries. Whether
it's from legal to medical and academic contexts, or even market research and
business meetings, transcription brings great value to numerous professional
sectors.
On
more than one occasion, we have had to handle rush order on transcript
production. To ensure this is possible, it’s important to keep the following
factors in mind for maximum satisfaction with your order:
1.
Crystal Clear Audio
The
accuracy with which any transcript is produced depends, first and foremost, on
the quality of the audio or video recording to be transcribed. This is the case
for both human and machine transcription services. While highly skilled
transcriptionists are more likely to be capable of deciphering those
harder-to-make-out words and expressions, human transcription is significantly
slower when compared with machines.
Examples
of poor-quality recordings are those with high background noise or too distant
of a recording, making speech virtually inaudible. It is critical to make sure
the recording device is in close enough proximity to the speaker(s) and any
other sources of noise that may prevent them from being recorded with clarity
are kept to a minimum.
2.
The Right Expertise
Another
important factor to consider before submitting your rush transcription order is
whether the service provider you have chosen has the right industry expertise.
Lacking this knowledge can decrease the delivered transcript’s accuracy or even
increase the time required to produce your order. The consequence of either of
these happening would result in a much higher final cost for you.
If
your recording is very industry-specific, experienced transcriptionists are a
must-have to deliver the desired result in the most cost-effective manner.
Aside from the expertise, other skill sets that offer added-value are
translations services. If you know that there may be a need for your transcript
to be translated into other languages, it is better to think long-term and
partner with a provider that can offer this additional service themselves or
recommend a reputable company to do so…like us, especially us!
3.
Human-Assisted Automated Transcription
When
working with tight turnarounds, computer-assisted transcription does most of
the heavy lifting as the technology is able to process information at a much
higher speed. While more and more transcription providers today employ
automatic speech recognition technology to boost their automated services, the
efficacy of this feature is based upon how much training their machines have
had to date.
At
VocalScript, we work with the latest techniques in artificial intelligence to
regularly update our speech recognition algorithm utilizing machine learning.
Thanks to our extensive experience in this field, we have access to vast
amounts of exceptionally high quality data with which to train and consistently
improve the accuracy of our automated services. Our global community of skilled
transcriptionists complement this service by catching out any nuance in speech
or terminology to deliver top-quality transcripts at affordable pricing and
within 24-48 hours.
Your
Needs Will Define the Right Rush Order Service for You
In
essence, the type of rush order service you should contract greatly depends on
your specific transcription needs. If all you require is a quick initial draft
where complete accuracy is not necessary, our First Draft service will help you
save on time and cost. Where 100% accuracy is a must, our Standard and Full
Verbatim services will turn your recordings into digital transcripts in the
format of your choice within 1-3 business days.

your transcription rush order needs may be, get in touch with our sales team
