Part 3 of our Audio Transcription Techniques Series – Building language skills – English Grammar
Without proper grammar and punctuation, audio transcription is nothing. You might as well get a voice to text converter software, and you’re good to go, since it will just type what it hears without making much sense. While grammar and punctuation is not important in verbatim transcription, it’s probably the most important aspect in all other specialties that a transcription service handles. It’s a given that to produce a proper, final transcript, you need to have solid English knowledge, and that’s precisely why ScriptoSphere hires proofreaders and transcribers who are university graduates in English, to eliminate any and all mistakes that could happen.
For budding transcribers, it’s very important to keep in mind all the nitty-gritties of English grammar and punctuation before you can even think of having a good paying transcription job, because if your grammar part is not solid, you’d probably be rejected in almost all the job interviews, at least by transcription companies who have high standards. To build solid grammar knowledge into your repertoire, you need to get to the basics, learn the English language from its roots, read lots of books, lots of literature, maybe watch lots of English plays and movies, and then implement that knowledge while you transcribe, paying good attention to each sentence, the words in that sentence etc. and I can almost guarantee you, you’ll have a satisfying, well-paid job as a transcriber or a proofreader.
